Uninstalling Directory Server
You may need to remove an instance of Netscape D irectory Server (Directory
Server) or uninstall the entire server altogether. The Directory Server provides a
utility that enables you to uninstall the software as a whole or to remove selected
components. This chapter explains how to perform thes e tasks in these sections:
• Removing a Directory Server Instance (page 69)
• Uninstalling Directory Server (page 70)
Removing a Directory Server Instance
If you are sure you won’t need a particular instance o f the Directory Server
anymore, you can use the Netscape Console to remove the server instance from
your machine. Removing a Directory Server instance is not the same as
uninstalling the Directory Server: w hen you uninstall the Directory Server, i ts
program files are deleted from the h ost machine; when you remove a Directory
Server instance, only the selected instance is removed, leaving behind the
configuration directory and Administration Server because you require these to
administer the remaining server ins tances installed in the server group.
To remove a Directory Server instance from your machine:
1. LogintoNetscapeConsole.
2. In the Console tab, select the Directory Server instance you want to remove.
NOTE Before removing a n instance of Directory Server, verify that the
corresponding configuration directory is running.
