MySQL and cacti on Dapper Server

[Damien Hull]

I was trying to setup Apache MySQL and PHP on Dapper.

   1. Had some trouble with MySQL and the socket
         1. Can't really remember what
         2. Something to do with /tmp and the socket file
   2. Tried to install Cacti
         1. it installed
         2. had a cacti database in MySQL
         3. Was unable to access the web interface for cacti
   3. I uninstalled cacti
   4. I uninstalled mysql-server
         1. it said it was removed (apt-get remove --purge mysql-server)
         2. I still have /etc/mysql
         3. I still have mysqld

Why can't I remove mysql-server?

I'm going to reboot and see if that does anything.
