Hey guys, Sorry not sure what's wrong with this statement. I've tried a few variations of trying to exclude the /var/www directory. [root at 224432-24 apr-1.5.1]# find / -name "*httpd*" -type d \( ! -name www \) /usr/lib/httpd /usr/lib64/httpd /var/www/vhosts/johnnyenglish/httpdocs /var/www/lpaddevbkp/alchemist/namespace/system-config-httpd /var/www/lpaddevbkp/httpd The ultimate intention once I get a suitable find command is to delete all references to httpd. I'm trying to do a clean install of apache 'the company way'. But before I do that I want to get rid of the apache that was there. I've already queried the rpm database and did a yum remove of the apache packages. So where I'm I going wrong with the above statement? Looks right to me!
