You can use these procedures to remove the IBM WebSphere Application Server from your Linux system.

Steps

Perform the following steps to remove the WebSphere Application Server:

  1. Log on as root to the system where WebSphere Application Server is installed.
  2. You must stop any of the following processes and the applications that use them that are running on your system:
    • IBM WebSphere Application Server
    • IBM HTTP Admin
    • IBM HTTP Server
    Type the appropriate stop commands, as follows:
    • To stop WebSphere Application Server, Version 5 - server1, type the following command in a separate command window:
      <WAS_dest-path>/bin/stopServer.sh server1 -username 
        <username> -password <password>
      where:

      <WAS_dest-path> is the destination path where WebSphere Application Server, Version 5 was installed.

      <username> is the name of the WebSphere Application Server authentication user.

      <password> is the password of the WebSphere Application Server authentication user.

    • To stop IBM HTTP Administration 1.3.28, type the following command in a separate command window:
      <HTTPServer_dest-path>/bin/adminctl stop
      where:

      <HTTPServer_dest-path> is the destination path where IBM HTTP Server 1.3.28 was installed.

    • To stop IBM HTTP Server 1.3.28, type the following command in a separate command window:
      <HTTPServer_dest-path>/bin/apachectl stop
      where:

      <HTTPServer_dest-path> is the destination path where IBM HTTP Server 1.3.28 was installed.

  3. Type the following command in a command window to run the WebSphere uninstallation wizard:
    <WAS_installPath>/WebSphere/AppServer/_uninst/uninstall
    where <WAS_installPath> is the location where WebSphere was installed. If WebSphere Application Server was installed by Multiple Device Manager, this is the same path where Multiple Device Manager was installed.
  4. The WebSphere Application Server uninstallation wizard window opens. Select the appropriate language, then click Next.
  5. Continue through the uninstallation wizard until you see a message such as:
    Gskit will not be uninstalled, as it may be shared with other programs
    Click OK.
