Just to take inspiration from the subject of this thread (How to upgrade from 4.5 to 4.6?) imagine that I tried for many months to properly install OACS 4.5, and could not succeed.
Now it is maybe time for me to try with 4.6 version. The big problem is: how can I start from scratch? What is the way to follow to clean up all the 4.5 installation?
In case I do not get an answer I feel forced to reformat the entire disk and reinstall linux.

When you're running postgresql there shouldn't be a problem doing 
$ createdb myoacs46
Checkout or unpack oacs-4-6 files in /web/myoacs46 or whereever you usually put your web projects, configure your existing aolserver installation to use the myoacs46 db and point its documentroot to /web/myoacs46, and from there on you should be able to install from scratch.

No need to reformat your linux hard drive, please don't blackmail us with such horrible threats 😉.
