Help with HTTP Server Option

[phusion24]

I have a Cisco 1600 series router running IOS version 12.1(1). I've been having a problem removing the following option from my running-config.

no ip http server

I would like to remove the whole line from my running-config file. Let me know how I can do this. Thanks.

Would you like the ip http server therefore to run, in which case simply invoke the ip http server.

I would like to remove the line completely. I know that I can invoke the ip http server, but I want to remove the line. How can I do this?

Live with it!
The ip http server command is a system level setting and therefore will always appear in the config.

The default is on, anything not default appears in the config,

It used to be IOS had the web server enabled by default on all devices but that became a security issue so in newer code the web server is disabled. Therefore, you see the "no ip http server" in the configuration. There is no way to remove this syntax. You can turn on the web server with the "ip http server" global configuration command. Just be aware many of the commands that show up automatically in your configs are built-in and can't be remove. There are also many commands (default behaviors) that don't show up but are running in the background. There are also many "undocumented" commands for IOS which the developers use.

I figured out what the problem was, and it had nothing to do with what I was asking about. Sorry about that. Thanks for the information though.
