You can uninstall Web server plug-ins for WebSphere® Application
Server manually, instead of using the uninstaller program.
Before you begin
Try uninstalling Web server plug-ins for WebSphere Application
Server using the uninstaller program. Use this manual procedure if
the uninstaller is not available for some reason.
About this task
To manually uninstall the Web server plug-ins, delete the
installation root directory for the Web server plug-ins for WebSphere Application Server. Deleting
the directory removes the binary plug-ins.
Procedure
- Delete the installation root directory for Web server plug-ins
for WebSphere Application Server.
- Delete the Web server definition in the application server
configuration.
You can delete a Web server definition
from the 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
Manually delete GSKit. Use
the following procedure to verify that no other products are registered
in GSKit before running the isuninst command.
- Click Start > Run and run
the regedit command to edit the registry.
- Change directories to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\GSKx\CurrentVersion\REGAPP,
where x is the version of GSKit, such as GSK7.
- Look for other products that are registered within GSKit.
Look for entries other than the default entry and for products
other than IBM HTTP Server and
Web Server plug-ins for WebSphere Application
Server. If the following entries are the only ones present, you can
delete GSKit as described in the following step:
- (Default)
- WASPLUGIN60
- IHS60
- Run the following command to invoke the GSKit Uninstaller
program:
isuninst -f"gskit_root\gsk7BUI.isu"
This
command removes GSKit, regardless of whether or not other applications
are registered as using GSKit.
- Reconfigure any Web servers that were configured to use
the binary plug-ins that you deleted.
