You can uninstall the Web server plug-ins for WebSphere® Application Server using the
uninstalller program.
Before you begin
On
IBM® i,
you cannot uninstall the Web server plug-ins without installing the WebSphere Application Server product. Use
the
removeOs400WebServerDefinition command to delete a Web
server definition. For example, to remove the definition for the Web
server WEBSERVER1, which is associated with a profile called myHttpProfile,
run this command from Qshell:
app_server_root/bin/removeOs400WebserverDefinition
-webserver.name WEBSERVER1
-profileName myHttpProfile
If you used the IBM Key
Management wizard to create SSL key files in the Web server Plug-ins
home directory, back up the files to a directory outside of the Web
server Plugins directory. After the uninstall
procedure is complete, you can delete the SSL key files if they are
no longer required.
About this task
To uninstall the Web server plug-ins, run the uninstaller
program. The program deletes the installation root directory for the
Web server plug-ins for WebSphere Application Server,
which removes the binary plug-ins.
Procedure
- Stop the Web server to allow the uninstaller program to
change the Web server configuration.
- Open a command window.
- Change directories to the plugins_root/uninstall directory
and issue the uninstall -silent command. OR: Change
directories to the plugins_root/bin directory
and issue the uninstall command.
- Wait until the uninstall completes.
Uninstalling the Web server plug-ins for WebSphere Application
Server removes many files in the installation root directory, but
leaves the following logs in the
plugins_root/log/uninstall directory:
- ISMP uninstall log: log.txt
- Configuration uninstall log: masterConfigurationLog.txt
- Web server deconfiguration log: uninstallweb_server_namePlugin.log,
such as the uninstallApachePlugin.log.
- Delete files from the system temporary directory.
Delete
the following files:
- Install temporary log : temporaryPluginInstallLog.txt
- Uninstall temporary log : temporaryPluginUnInstallLog.txt
- Delete the Web server definition in a standalone application
server.
The uninstaller program for the Web server plug-ins
for WebSphere Application Server does not delete
Web server definitions. However, you can delete a Web server definition
from admin console OR by using the following wsadmin commands:
$AdminTask deleteServer { -serverName webserver1 -nodeName WebserverHostName-node_node }
$AdminTask removeUnmanagedNode { -nodeName WebserverHostName-node_node }
$AdminConfig save
Results
After you exit from the plugins_root/uninstPlugin directory,
the directory is removed.
The only remaining directory is the plugins_root/logs directory.
The logs directory contains the install process log, the uninstall
process log, and the Web server creation logs.
Important: The only other files that might exist are the SSL
key files that you can create using the IBM Key
Management Wizard. You can move these files to a safe location before
using the manual uninstalling procedure, if necessary.
