You can uninstall the Web server plug-ins for WebSphere Application
Server using the uninstalller program.
Before you begin
On i5/OS, you cannot
uninstall the Web server plug-ins without installing the WebSphere Application
Server product. Use the
removeOs400WebServerDefinition command to delete
a Web server definition. For example, to remove the definition for the Web
server WEBSERVER1, which is associated with a profile called myHttpProfile,
run this command from Qshell:
app_server_root/bin/removeOs400WebserverDefinition
-webserver.name WEBSERVER1
-profileName myHttpProfile
If you used the IBM Key Management wizard to create SSL
key files in the Web server Plug-ins home directory, back up the files to
a directory outside of the Web server Plugins directory.
After the uninstall procedure is complete, you can delete the SSL key files
if they are no longer required.
About this task
To uninstall the Web server plug-ins, run the uninstaller program.
The program deletes the installation root directory for the Web server plug-ins for WebSphere Application Server, which
removes the binary plug-ins.
Procedure
- Stop the Web server to allow the uninstaller program to change
the Web server configuration.
- Open a command window.
- Change directories to the plugins_root/uninstall directory
and issue the uninstall -silent command. OR: Change
directories to the plugins_root/bin directory
and issue the uninstall command.
- Wait until the uninstall completes.
Uninstalling the Web server plug-ins for WebSphere Application Server removes many files in the installation
root directory, but leaves the following logs in the
plugins_root/log/uninstall directory:
- ISMP uninstall log: log.txt
- Configuration uninstall log: masterConfigurationLog.txt
- Web server deconfiguration log: uninstallweb_server_namePlugin.log,
such as the uninstallApachePlugin.log.
- Delete files from the system temporary directory.
Delete
the following files:
- Install temporary log : temporaryPluginInstallLog.txt
- Uninstall temporary log : temporaryPluginUnInstallLog.txt
- Delete the Web server definition in a standalone application server.
The uninstaller program for the Web server plug-ins for WebSphere Application Server does not delete Web server
definitions. However, you can delete a Web server definition from admin console
OR by using the following wsadmin commands:
$AdminTask deleteServer { -serverName webserver1 -nodeName WebserverHostName-node_node }
$AdminTask removeUnmanagedNode { -nodeName WebserverHostName-node_node }
$AdminConfig save
Results
After you exit
from the plugins_root/uninstPlugin directory,
the directory is removed.
The only remaining directory is the plugins_root/logs directory.
The logs directory contains the install process log, the uninstall process
log, and the Web server creation logs.
Important: The only
other files that might exist are the SSL key files that you can create using
the IBM Key Management Wizard. You can move these files to a safe location
before using the manual uninstalling procedure, if necessary.
