I recently removed apache2 from my linode ubuntu server with:

apt-get --purge remove apache2

Then tried to install it again (apt-get install apache2). But since then, I can't use apt-get anymore, I get the following (resumed): 

ERROR: Site default does not exist!
dpkg: error processing apache2.2-common (--configure):
dpkg: dependency problems are stoping apache2-mpm-worker of being configured
dpkg: dependency problems are stoping apache2 of being configured

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

If I remove apache2, apache2.2-common and apache2-mpm-worker everything works again, but I need apache installed!

Any ideias of what may be causing the errors?

PS: I translated the errors message, so they might be not entirely accurate

Looks like you also manually have removed configuration files under /etc/apache2/? Note that those files belong to the package apache2.2-common, hence that being the package you need to make sure gets purged, not merely removed, before you can reinstall it.

  • Hi, how would I do that? `apt-get purge apache2.2-common` is enough? And yes, there's no /etc/apache2 anymore. – Lucas Pelegrino Oct 16 '12 at 06:13
  • Sorry, my mistake. Once I did `apt-get install apache2` also installed (at least partially) apache2.2-common. So there're configurations files under /etc/apache2. Any ideias? – Lucas Pelegrino Oct 16 '12 at 06:18
