Problem |
After uninstalling WebSphere® Application Server and IBM®
HTTP Server on HP-UX®, reinstalling fails due to software not being
removed from the registry during the uninstall. |
|
Cause |
Left over entries in the system registry prevent you from
reinstalling the software. |
|
Solution |
When removing WebSphere Application Server or IBM HTTP
Server from an HP-UX system using the uninstall script, the registry may
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.
Checking Registry:
- Log in as the root user.
- Issue the following command from the command line: swlist.
- This will list the items in the registry.
- If WebSphere or IBM HTTP Server is listed after running
the uninstall script you will need to manually remove the items from the
registry.
- Type the command: swremove.
- You will be prompted to select the item or items for removal.
- Once selected, follow the rest of the prompts to remove.
- After completion, type swlist to verify the registry has been cleared
of the undesired items.
- You should now be able to reinstall WebSphere Application Server and
IBM HTTP Server.
Make sure no "java" or "httpd" processes running. |
