I don't know why all these complicated stuff?!
I have Fedora Core 3 installed on my Laptop. It has the apache 2.0 + php 4.3.0 installed on it. But for some reasons I need to remove them and install everything by myself.
However, I don't see any way to remove a software from this silly oprating system!!
Moreover, I installed a newer apache and it worked for the first time that I started it. After a reboot, when I wanted to start it again, it said: cannot access port 80 and something like that!!! One more problem was when I tried to install php and after configure I tried to run "make" command. At the end it said there are errors!!

Why all these happening? Can anyone help me with this issue? hoffff

im using fedora core 3 since last december
im happy with it.
though installation of some plugins might be difficult,
its because fedora core is a pure OPEN source OS,
where some licenses like mp3 are not included but can be available from different resources
in my blog i simplified some stuffs,

its not like suse or mandrake where its spoonfeeding

Oh guys, thank you all for the links.
In fact, I worked on Redhat since version 7.0 and I was happy with version 9.0, I installed fedora core 3 after that but it is very difficult to deal with I don't undrestand why is that! I have had really hard time to install some server related stuff and at the end I just decided to go back to redhat 9.0...

my girlfriend just installed suse at her father's place,

To stop apache:

# service httpd stop

With regard to managing installed applications, check out apt for rpm. Also, this forum run by a wise man who like to talk Linux.
