Uninstalling the Sun ONE Application Server Software

This chapter contains instructions for uninstalling the Sun™ Open Net Environment (Sun ONE) Application Server 7 software from your system.

The following topics are addressed here:

What You’re Uninstalling

All components in the current Sun ONE Application Server installation directory, except for the Java™ 2 Software Development Kit (J2SE), are automatically selected for uninstallation. You cannot choose to uninstall individual components.

Note

If you need to remove the Sun ONE Application Server from your system, it is important to use the uninstall routine described here. If you attempt another method, problems will arise when you try to reinstall the same version, or when you install a new version.

Uninstalling the Sun ONE Application Server Software

The uninstallation program detects any running Sun ONE Application Server processes and stops them before continuing to uninstall.

Note

If your J2SE is installed in a directory other than /usr/j2se, you must use the following command:

./uninstall -javahome valid_j2se_directory

where valid_j2se_directory is the path to your J2SE installation.
