apt-get install apache2 wont' install configuration files

Question

I had some problems with apache2, so I decide to get a fresh start. sudo apt-get --purge apache2 It won't clear my config files. So I manually rm the /etc/apache2 folder. Then "sudo apt-get install apache2" won't create /etc/apache2 folder anymore. Tried clear apt/cache, won't help. Tried update/change different source.list, won't help.

Any hint there the problem might be?

Thank a lot.

The configuration files are created on the installation of the package apache2.2-common . The command apt-get install --reinstall apache2.2-common should do the trick.
