Uninstall manually on Linux

If the uninstallation program is not present or an aborted installation did not create a complete and functional uninstallation program, you can manually uninstall IBM WebSphere Portal.

To manually uninstall WebSphere Portal:

  1. To stop the server1 and WebSphere_Portal servers from the WP_PROFILE/bin directory:

    1. ./stopServer.sh server1 -username adminid -password passwd

    2. ./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -username adminid -password passwd

  2. Verify that there are no other installations or uninstallations running.

  3. Locate and delete the /tmp/portalinstall.lockfile file.

  4. Uninstall WAS; to manually uninstall it, refer to Uninstall manually.

  5. Delete the portal_server_root directory tree and the WP_PROFILE directory tree.

  6. To edit the vpd.properties file and remove WebSphere Portal information:

    1. Open the /vpd.properties or /root/vpd.properties file.

    2. Remove all lines that contain the portal_server_root installation string.

    3. Save and close the vpd.properties file.

  7. To edit the .ITLMRegistry file and remove WebSphere Portal information:

    1. Open the /root/.ITLMRegistry file.

    2. Remove all lines that contain the portal_server_root installation string.

    3. Save and close the .ITLMRegistry file.

  8. To remove WebSphere Portal entries from your operating system's native registry using the native registry tool:

    1. Search for the two entries in the Linux registry:

      Entry Results
      #rpm -qa | grep IBMWPS If there are no matching entries when using this command, no further action is required for this entry. The resulting list of packages are in the "IBMWPScore 6.1.0-0" format.
      #rpm -qa | grep WebSpherePortalProduct If there are no matching entries when using this command, no further action is required for this entry. The resulting list of packages are in the "WebSpherePortalProduct-6.1.0.-0" format.

    2. Remove the #rpm –e IBMWPScore-6.1.0-0 and #rpm –e WebSpherePortalProduct-6.1.0-0 entries.
