I have everything install (Apache, PHP, MySql and phpadmin) and everything seems to be working right. Then when I go to install the certification for let's Encrypt, they are saying that I'm missing a plug in from Apache. I have no clue what plug in they are requiring, or maybe I missed a step when putting in Apache. Either way, my question (let's be honest), is can I just uninstall Apache, re-install it and be good to go, or do I need to start from the beginning again?

Any error message?
How do you try to install the certificate?

Not trying to be a smart a$$, but in my message I posted there was a plug in missing from apache. My only question is: If I uninstall apache, then reinstall apache, will PHP, MySql and phpmyadmin be applied to the new install or would I have to go back and start over again installing everything?
Thanks

mod_md can pull and install certs from Let’s Encrypt. Or you need a client for the command line. Choose your poison https://letsencrypt.org/docs/client-options/

I choose my poison sir and I won. My website is locked and almost loaded.
However, I'm just still wondering about it. I've never worked in Linux before. So the question still remains. If I load apache in and then php, mysql and then phpmyadmin and then I realize that I screwed up with apache, can I just replace apache or do I need to reinstall php, mysql and phpmyadmin?
Thanks

I'm most familiar with Debian Linux. There every software has its own configuration in /etc/

If you want really remove it, use apt-get purge <package>

apt-get remove only deletes the binaries, and keeps the configuration files.

So yes, you can do that, just reinstall apache.
