Uninstall in Mac OS X?

[avi4now]

Hi, I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.3.

A month ago I tried to install the Mac Alpha, without much success. I decided to wait for the next release.

Now that the next release is here, I've downloaded it and tried to install it, but there are some problems.

I'd like to completely remove my previous installation, but haven't found instructions for that in the docs or the forums -- at least for OS X. I did find references to

/opt/zimbra/install.sh -u

but can't find anything similar on my hard drive or in the Zimbra disk image.

I'd appreciate some help on this!

Finally, I believe that OS X Installer packages have a way to offer uninstallation. I would encourage the development team to include that capability in the next release of Zimbra for OS X.

Thanks!

I'll look into osx uninstall via the packaging - I didn't see anything, but the docs are scattered a bit.

For now:
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/zimbra-* /opt/zimbra

will do the trick.

Wow, that was fast! It worked, of course, and I'm installing the new beta now. Thanks!

Install worked! The only problem was exceedingly minor: your server set up to receive installation notifications is returning a 500:

We're trying to track that down - it's a load balanced web server, and the script on one is fubar (bad perms, probably). Glad the install worked!

OK, I can login to the client a-ok, no problem.

But when I try to access the Admin Console at:

http://bigavi.local:7071

Firefox opens a "download file" dialog - see attachment.

Help?

try https, not http

Ah, that did it. You might want to use a redirect or XHTML message to that effect at some point -- or maybe not, since this is the admin console, maybe a little security through obscurity can't hurt too much.

Now I just need to get the admin console to let me log in! It doesn't seem to like my "admin" password - although I can log into the client using the same password. Running zmsetup now to reset the password.

Thanks again!

[avi4now]

OK, I'm in. I just had to read the instructions!

(I wasn't entering the fully qualified username. More security through obscurity -- fine with me! Shame on me for not reading the docs in the first place anyway.)

Thanks!

It's really strange that I can't shift-tab to the previous field. Is there some specific or special reason?
