mysql uninstall
 

I would like to know how to completely remove mysql from Red hat 9.0 . I want to leave no traces of mysql. i have mysql version 4 installed with the rpm package.

I also want to remove apache completely.

please help

The man page for rpm covers this nicely

rpm -e *package_name*

Don't know if the mysql rpm created a user and will also remove it or not...I use the binary package from mysql.com

May I ask why you want to remove mysql and apache??

i want to re install mysql and apache completely.. since the current versions are giving some problems.. i dont want any trace of the previous ones for a fresh new installation.

Hello...

Where can i get the package name? Im not the one who installed MYSQL in my PC...
Can somebody give me the complete process on how to install it?
Because I tried to start my MYSQL and it failed. I don't know what's wrong with it...

Also having this problem...

Installed from rpms and I know which version. However, simply uninstalling does not remove the root password for MySQL, which is my problem. The root password was set and all information that I can find on the web to reset it doesn't work.
