Windows
Uninstalling on a Windows system can be done in two ways.
- Using Add/Remove Programs control panel - go to Start->Settings- >Control Panel and doubleclick on Add/Remove Programs. Highlight Urchin and click the Change/Remove button. An InstallShield window should launch and present you with a dialog box with 3 radio button choices: Modify, Repair, and Remove. Select the Remove button and click Next, then follow the remaining dialog boxes to complete.
- Re-running an Urchin installer - Running the setup.exe you installed Urchin with should detect that Urchin is already installed and present you with the dialog box with the Modify, Repair, and Remove radio buttons.
When the uninstall process is completed there will be an Urchin data folder left in its original installation location. This folder contains Urchin report and configuration data, and is not removed during uninstallation. If you are completely removing Urchin from your system, you may remove the Urchin folder to reclaim disk space.
UNIX-type Systems
Using the urchinctl program, stop the Urchin webserver
and Urchin
task
scheduler services like
so:
/path/to/urchin/bin/urchinctl stop
Once this is done you can remove the entire Urchin installation directory. If you have installed the urchin_daemons boot script that causes the Urchin services to start/stop when the system is rebooted, you should remove this script from the startup initialization area of your system.
Mac OS X 10.2.x and later
In the Urchin installer disk image (e.g. the urchin5.XXXX_macosx102.dmg), there is a script that can be used to automate removing Urchin.
- Mount the Urchin installer disk image by double clicking on it. This will mount a new volume on your desktop named Urchin 5.XXX (where 5.XXX) is the Urchin version number, e.g. 5.702)
- Open up a Terminal window by launching the Finder and selecting Applications from the Go menu. Navigate into the Utilities folder and double click on Terminal.
- In your terminal window run the command:
sudo /Volumes/Urchin\5.XXX/uninstall_urchin.sh
The uninstall_urchin.sh script will remove all of the Urchin binaries and support files, but leave your configuration and report data intact. If you want to remove all data as well, then you should manually delete the /usr/local/urchin directory with the command:
sudo rm -r /usr/local/urchin
Sun Cobalt
Connect to the main Site Administration page for your Cobalt system and follow the directions below for your system type:
- RaQ3 or RaQ4 - Click on Maintenance in the left hand frame, then click Install Software in the top row. In the list of installed software on the system, click the Urchin link. In the Urchin management screen, click Uninstall Urchin, then click to confirm that you want to uninstall.
- Qube3, XTR, or RaQ 550 - Select the BlueLinQ tab, then click Installed Software in the left hand frame. In the software list you will see an entry for Urchin. The right hand column of the Urchin entry has an uninstall icon. Click the icon and then click OK to confirm that you want to uninstall.
When the uninstall has completed the Cobalt Administration interface should refresh and any entry for Urchin should be gone. Once this is done you can remove the /home/urchin directory. Please note that removing /home/urchin will irretrievably delete any remaining configuration and report data.
