Plesk uninstallation

[swiftsage]

I am trying to remove Plesk in Fedora Core 2 .
When I tried to use #rpm -e psa* in Bash shell
as root I am getting the "error : Package PSA not installed" message .
But Iam able to access Plesk from https://myipaddress:8443/
I am really puzzled .
Could you please advise me ?
Thank you .

Did you do an rpm install?

Try rebuilding the rpm database:

rpm --rebuilddb

then do

rpm -q psa

and see if it lists psa-7.5.3-fc2.<version>...

If it does, then you should be able to

rpm -e psa-7.5.3-fc2......etc

I got a failed dependencies error when i tried rpm -e .Please advise .Will it upset
the system if i remove plesk 7.5 .
Is there any way to safely remove it ?
# rpm -e psa-7.5.0-fc2.build75041208.20

Uninstall the dependencies, then the main psa

Besides, if you're dumping psa, then you wouldn't want to leave the other psa related stuff on the system anyways....

I did it with "Yum remove psa* "
It did everything automatically ...
But it said it also had to remove ,
drweb ,fetchmail,courier-imap,mdadm ,coppermine and mutt ..
Do I have to reinstall them independently
again ?
Please advise .

Well, the Dr Web is a Plesk licensed thing (even on a free basis), but you'd be better off going with a different AV package anyways, the free Dr Web has certain limits.

The other packages, if you need them, then reinstall them (not using the Plesk versions, since you are not going to use Plesk). If you don't need some of those, then you don't have to reinstall them.

regards,

To uninstall the dependencies, go through the error list one item at a time and do a 'rpm -e <name of dependency>'

For example:
rpm -e psa-api-common-7.5.0-fc2.build75041208.20
rpm -e psa-bu-7.5.0-fc2.build75041208.20

and so on...

Hello,

Does uninstall PSA affect MySQL and the data inside MySQL?
