Hi Tony I have made somme experiments which are a little confusing but interesting 1 ) Check the symlink /etc/rc2.d/S20httpd is really a symlink to ../init.d/httpd ../init.d/httpd ( /etc/init.d/httpd in real world ) exists and is not empty Its contents seems normal ! Conclusion : I do not understand why dpkg is saying these strange error messages ! 2 ) I try to launch httpd using /usr/bin/apachectl start I was said that "httpd is already running" Effectively if look at processes by "ps -edf" I see five httpd process running ! 3 ) I open MicroB giving the URL : http://locahost and I saw the message "It works" confirming the Web server is definitively working ! Grand conclusion : Despite the meassge in Application Manager, httpd seems to work ! It is impossible to uninstall it but maybe I have to stop the httpd processes before doing that ! In any case thanks for for your help Tony !
