How can we reset apache2

Question

By mistake I have applied the command,

sudo rm -rf /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

after that i can't run apache2

How can I solve this?

Answer 1

Reinstall and start Apache with the commands below:

sudo apt-get purge apache2
sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo service apache2 start

apt purge uninstalls the specified app (in this case, apache)

apt install installs the specified app (in this case, apache)

service start starts the specified app (in this case, apache)
