This is a step-by-step
document for beginners on how to uninstall software that was installed
via the PKG method.
Software that is commonly
installed via the Administrative Web Interface include Cobalt Patches/Updates
and miscellanous third party software. These are the items listed under
the Maintenance / Installed Software menu in the Web Interface.
WARNING
We do not recommend uninstalling any Cobalt-sanctioned updates/patches.
Technical Support is not available in these instances and you would be
referred to our Professional Services team.
Step
1
Telnet into your machine as
admin.
Type "su -" to login
again as the super user. The password for root is the same as the admin
user, which is the same as the admin password used to access the Administrative
Web Interface.
Step
2
Switch to the /var/lib/cobalt/uninstallers
directory, which holds the uninstall scripts for these programs.
Step
3
View a listing of the files
there to find out which is the one you are required to run for the uninstall.
Step
4
Once you know which file you
need to run (usually a direct correlation to the program that you need
to remove), run it by typing "./filename".
In this example, I'm uninstalling
MySQL from a RaQ4.
Type "exit" and press
Enter, twice to log out completely.
