How to uninstall GroupWise 24.2.0 on Linux server

dschaldenovell
 

Good evening, 

Wanted to start my installation of GroupWise over again, things went beyond messed up, but when I try to run the installation/configuration again it keeps hanging on trying to start the previous GW adminserver, which of course is not there any longer, is there a way to remove the GW software without having to destroy the whole OES 23.4 server? 

I ran the installation which completes successfully but then when I go to configure the second try that's where it is hanging. 

Thank you

    i think that OT must give us a uninstall.sh for all products as for gms, to use when necessary!

    In Windows there is a uninstall function for the most installed programs

    here the directories and files found on my oes24.2 server (since netware6.5, then oes11 and gw5 to today)

    now we must find the other files that not begin with grpwise* or goupwise*!!!

    what is old? what can be deleted or removed?

    who is interested to participate on creation for a complete uninstall.sh for groupwise?

    I did the following to "re-install" GroupWise on my OES 23.4 server. 

    1.) Deleted the NSS Volumes for the Domain and Post Offices completely. 

    2.) Stopped the GroupWise services - "rcgrpwise stop"

    3.) Went to the directory  cd /etc/opt/novell/groupwise/ and removed the rm gwha.conf (this seemed to be holding up the gwadmin service from loading in the prior attempts)

    4.) After I removed the above it seemed that the gwadmin service would execute, it would ask for an authorization key which once added I was able to create a new GroupWise system. 

    Hope this helps, moving forward.

    Thank you,
