Uninstalling Directory Server
You may need to remove an instance of Netscape Directory 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 these tasks in these
sections:
• Removing a Directory Server Instance (page 109)
• Uninstalling Directory Server (page 110)
Removing a Directory Server Instance
If you are sure you won’t need a particular instance of 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: when you uninstall the Directory Server, its
program files are deleted from the host 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 instances installed in the server group.
To remove a Directory Server instance from your machine:
1. Log in to Netscape Console.
2. In the Console tab, select the Directory Server instance you want to remove.
NOTE Before removing an instance of Directory Server, verify that the
corresponding configuration directory is running.
