Uninstalling the Server on UNIX Systems
To uninstall Directory Server running on a UNIX system:
1. Log in to your system as super user (root).
2. Navigate to the directory where Directory Server is installed.
The default path is
/usr/netscape/servers.
3. Run ./uninstall.
CAUTION You will not receive a warning before proceeding with the
uninstallation of the Directory Server which contains your
configuration information under the
o=NetscapeRoot suffix.
The configuration Directory Server containing the
o=NetscapeRoot
suffix contains the configuration data for your deployment and,
therefore, should not be uninstalled before dependent Directory
Servers. It is the first Directory Server you install, and we strongly
recommend that it be the last one you uninstall.
