Uninstallation of OpenEMM 6.0.1 failes

Post by mkom »

I trying to uninstall OpenEMM 6.0.1 exactly as described in Wiki:
1. Change to user openemm
su – openemm

2. Stop OpenEMM:
OpenEMM.sh stop

3. Exit openemm user and change back to root
exit

4. Uninstall OpenEMM package
rpm -e OpenEMM
Every step from 1 to 3 works except step 4. I'm always getting the error:
# rpm -e OpenEMM
error: package OpenEMM is not installed
But OpenEMM is installed and it runs if i start it with "OpenEMM.sh start".

System: CentOS 5.4

What's wrong with Uninstall?

The wiki is no longer up to date. Please use the InstallGuide (PDF file).

Did you install the RPM or tarball version of OpenEMM?

The InstallGuide does not include uninstall instructions for OpenEMM 6.XX. It only includes uninstall instructions for OpenEMM before 5.4.0: "7.1: If you use an OpenEMM version before 5.4.0 RC1 and want to upgrade...".

Or is it the same for the actual version?

I used the OpenEMM installer script OpenEMM-Installer-v1.2.sh.

Thanks

You can manually uninstall OpenEMM as described in the InstallGuide. rpm -e does not work because the Installer used the tarball, not the rpm of OpenEMM for installation.

Done.

Thank you for your help.

Should I simply delete the folder "/opt/openemm.org" too?

Or how should I uninstall the Java JDK?

Thanks.

To uninstall Java you can remove /opt/openemm.org. (Java offers no special uninstall.)
