I use custom compiled versions of both Apache and PHP and was wondering how to uninstall the default versions that came with my copy of Fedora 13.

The binaries for these are located in /usr/bin whereas binaries for my compiles are as /usr/local/apache & /usr/local/php respectively.

As a webserver with PHP this setup works fine, but when it comes to executing scripts from command line, unless I specify absolute path to the compiled PHP, the one in /usr/bin takes precedence as it's found first in the path search order.

Simply use the package manager (yum) to remove them.

yum erase httpd php

This should get rid of both of them, you might want to check if there's other PHP packages installed though, some might not be removed with the main package.

Update:

You can get a list of all packages ever downloaded (I think) and then filter that for PHP, like:

rpm -qa | grep php

This would give you a list of all packages containing the word PHP

Now if you're talking about the php binary I think that would be the php-cli package.
