Re: reinstalling Nginx & others usin apt from command line

Hi,

Yes, it is possible, you can do

apt-get install package --reinstall

It will work even if the package is installed, but a full removing will be even a better solution

~ Happy install !

I want to know if there is a way to use reinstall with some command to
overwrite all the existing configs using the dist configs. I want a
complete new installation with no modifications. I have tried this but
so far apt uses the existing configs. I end up with a non working
server. I had this same issue with apache and evolution. Seem like I
should be able to specify this at setup.
Thanks
john
