Problem(Abstract) |
After uninstalling IBM WebSphere Application Server and
IBM HTTP Server on HP-UX, reinstalling fails because the software was not
removed from the registry during the uninstall. |
|
|
|
Cause |
Left over entries in the system registry prevent you from
reinstalling the software. |
|
|
Resolving the
problem |
When removing WebSphere Application Server or IBM HTTP
Server from an HP-UX system using the uninstall script, the registry might
not be cleared of the entries for these products.
After running the uninstall script, and deleting the WebSphere Application
Server and IBM HTTP Server directories, you could have problems
reinstalling these products. You can check the registry to see if the
products are still listed in the registry:
- Log in as the root user.
- Enter the command swlist from the command line.
- This will list the items in the registry.
- If WebSphere Application Server or IBM HTTP Server is
listed after running the uninstall script, you will need to manually
remove the items from the registry.
- Enter the command swremove from the command line.
- You will be prompted to select the item or items for removal.
- Once selected, follow the rest of the prompts to remove.
- After completion, enter the command swlist to verify that the
registry has been cleared of the undesired items.
- You should now be able to reinstall WebSphere Application Server and
IBM HTTP Server.
Note: Make sure no java or httpd processes are
running.
