Uninstall a Web Agent from a UNIX System

These instructions are for GUI and Console Mode uninstallation.

Note: Removing a Web Agent from a 64-bit Suse Linux 10 system requires additional preparations.

The steps for the two modes are the same, with these exceptions for Console Mode:

• You may be instructed to select an option by entering a corresponding number.
• Press Enter after each step to proceed through the process instead of "clicking Next," as stated in the following procedure. The prompts for each mode will help guide you through the process.

Note: Before you uninstall, you may want to make copies of your Web Agent configuration settings to have as a back up.

1. Stop the web server.
2. Log into the UNIX system.
3. Specify the JRE in the PATH environment variable to uninstall the Web Agent. If you receive an error message that the Java virtual machine could not be found, add the JRE to the PATH variable as follows:

   PATH=/jre_home/bin:${PATH}

   export PATH

   jre_home is the location of the JRE

4. Navigate to the directory where the Web Agent is installed: web_agent_home/install_config_info/ca-wa-uninstall
5. If necessary, ensure you have execute permissions on the uninstallation program by entering chmod +x uninstall.
6. From a console window, enter one of the following commands:
   • GUI mode: ./uninstall
   • Console mode: ./uninstall -i console

   The uninstallation program starts.

7. Read the information in the dialog box to confirm the removal of the Web Agent, then click Uninstall. The Web Agent is removed from the system.
8. Click Done to exit the uninstallation program.
9. Optionally, if you are uninstalling an Apache Web Agent, remove the lines from the httpd.conf file that the Configuration Wizard added.
10. Change to your home directory (the current directory has been deleted).
11. Restart the web server(s).

Note: For Sun Java System web servers, the obj.conf, magnus.conf, and mime.types files are restored to its original settings prior to the Web Agent installation.
