iPlanet Messaging Server 5.1 Installation Guide for UNIX



Appendix C   Running the uninstall Program


This appendix describes how to remove an existing instance of the Messaging Server from a machine.

Note The uninstall program will not attempt to remove any log files, silent installation files, or mailboxes; if you want to remove these, you must do so manually.

The uninstall program does not remove any high availability components. See "Un-Installing High Availability" on page 123 for instructions on removing the high availability components.



In the directory in which you installed the Messaging Server files, you will find the uninstall program. To run uninstall, use the following steps:

  1. Login as root.

  2. Change to the server-root directory.

    Note Do not manually stop the Directory Server; the uninstall program requires the Directory Server to be up and running and it will handle the shutting down of the Directory Server.
