1: Uninstall AOLserver
Posted by Iuri Sampaio on 01/14/06 02:49 AM
Probably you will say that i'm crazy but...
I was wondering when i was doing the reverse process(i.e. unistall process)
Does anybody knows if when i'm unistalling the aolserver i'm leaving any "resquicious" "garbage" from the installation process. Like configurations file, codes, wahtever on the files of my linux distro?

in this case if i want to install it again should i format my computer??

It depends on how you installed it and how you uninstall it, but you never ever have to reformat your machine. Basically, undelete the aolserver binary directory (usually under /usr/local or /usr/lib/) and the aolserver server pages directory (e.g. /var/www/openacs), the aolserver start script (if there is one) in /etc/init.d and the start and stop scripts. That's all. Good bye.
