Using Uninstall on Unix
Chapter 2 Installing iPlanet Web Server, FastTrack Edition on Unix 33
To remove your iPlanet Web Server:
1. Go to your server root and type ./uninstall.
A list of iPlanet and Netscape servers currently installed in this location
appears.
2. Find iPlanet Web Server in the list and type the number next to it at the
prompt.
Note that uninstalling iPlanet Web Server automatically uninstalls the
Administration Server, since it is an instance of iPlanet Web Server.
A list of installed iPlanet Web Server subcomponents appears.
3. Select all subcomponents and press Return.
The subcomponents are uninstalled and you return to the command prompt.
If you installed another 4.x server (for example, Netscape Directory Server or
Messaging Server) in the same directory as iPlanet Web Server, follow these steps
when uninstalling:
1. Copy the uninstall script (uninstall) to another file, for example,
uninstslapd.
2. Use uninstall to uninstall iPlanet Web Server.
3. Rename uninstslapd to uninstall.
4. Use uninstall to uninstall Directory Server 4.1.
CAUTION Though you can select individual subcomponents to uninstall, it is
not recommended. The uninstaller only removes the parts of the
code pertaining to the selected subcomponent, but does not update
configuration files. Your server may not run if you uninstall
individual subcomponents.
NOTE The uninstall program does not remove every server file. For
example, it does not remove keys and certificates, configuration
files, logs, ACL files or the document root.
