Uninstalling on RH9

I need to know how to unistal something on the command line (MySQL...). I have the install deal, but I messed something up, so I need to uninstall it :|

I also need to uninstall WebMin, because I think I messed it up too :(

Pre-Thank you
~Jabird

I think rpm -e is what you're looking for... e.g, rpm -e mysql. You might need to give the full rpm name you used to install, I'm not 100% sure.

if you install with tarball .....

into mysql source code directory
./configure ( note: argument replaced yours eg --prefix)
make && \
make uninstall

or simply method
removed /usr/local/mysql /var/lib/mysql .....

Thanks guys, I uninstalled it, by removing directories, and using the rpm -e command... I think that is because I tried installing it with rpm, then didn't remove it properly, then tried installing it tarball...

After I installed it (after the uninstall....) I got this error message during uninstall:

Code:

any help with the error messages?

Try it:

first ! Must removed entire mysql tar directory

such as: /usr/local/mysql /var/lib/mysql

then : rpm -Uvh mysqlxxxxxxx.rpm --replacefiles --repackage --force

if it worked successed

retry: rpm -e msyqlxxxxxxx.rpm

good luck!!

[edit]I am beginning to wonder if I am even installing the right version of MySQL (on RH9...) I've been trying to install MySQL-server. Is that correct?[/edit]

I ran the rpm -e thing... got this:

Code:

[root@jabird root]# rpm -e MySQL-server-4.1.4-0.i386.rpm

error: package MySQL-server-4.1.4-0.i386.rpm is not installed

Ok... hmmm, I am pretty sure it is :| I will try rpm -Uvh again...

~Jabird

EDIT: Nope, still didn't work :(

I think your mysql-server is working now, run "pgrep mysqld" ,wheather print process-id on screen ? but you may uninstall mysql rpm package.
I suggest you to uninstall rpm-mysql and install tarball source mysql.

rpm -e mysql

get newest mysql stable version from www.mysql.com
(eg. http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/M.../mysql.he.net/ )

untar source code to a directory and run follow:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib/mysql
make
make install
groupadd mysql && useradd -g mysql -M -o -r -d /var/lib/mysql -s /sbin/nologin -c "MySQL Server" mysql
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_install_db
chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql

installed accomplished

good luck!!

I am not sure what you mean by it is working now, when I go into webmin, nothing displays, and when I ran the rpm -e, it said it wasn't installed to begin with...

I will try running the tarball thing though... tomorrow...

Thanks,
~Jabird

try it

rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep mysql)

my system runing LAMP ( Linux + Apache + Mysql + PHP ) very stable with tarball source installation .

I ran that, it asked me for a password :| I don't know the password, it isn't any of the ones I use....

~Jabird

EDIT: I ran it again, and it told me that no packages where givin to uninstall... so perhaps it worked, even though I didn't give it a working password?

hi !

I suggest you to install PhpMyAdmin might as well.

the original password is "" while you first installed mysql,

you can run:
mysqladmin -u root -p password "your-passwd" to set up passwd

There is no mysqladmin in my /usr/bin directory... there are several others, but no mysqladmin...

~Jabird

hello!

you can find the file that config for mysql in /etc/my.cnf

add line:
password=your-password
