Unistall zimbra server (installed by OS X binary)

[ale59]

Dear friends,
I have just installed zcs-4.0.4_GA_457.MACOSXx86 from the binary distribution. The installer worked well and now the server is running on my MacBook Pro with OS X 10.4.8.

Now I WANT TO UNISTALL the whole zcs. On the documentation they say that I have to run install.sh from the zcs directory but I can't find neither the dir nor the install.sh script.

I really need your help, please let me know...
Ciao

The search button would have given you the answer but -

Shut down zimbra, then rm -rf /Library/Receipts/zimbra* /opt/zimbra

Thanks, actually I did it but looking at the system logs I discovered that the launchd service was still attempting to run zimbra at startup, slowing down and filling the log file with plenty of errors. Look:

Nov 22 12:04:31 MacBookPro launchd: com.zimbra.zcs: getgrnam("zimbra") failed
Nov 22 12:04:31 MacBookPro launchd: com.zimbra.zcs: exited with exit code: 1
Nov 22 12:04:31 MacBookPro launchd: com.zimbra.zcs: respawning too quickly! throttling
Nov 22 12:04:31 MacBookPro launchd: com.zimbra.zcs: 8 more failures without living at least 60 seconds will cause job removal
Nov 22 12:04:31 MacBookPro launchd: com.zimbra.zcs: will restart in 10 seconds

[... 6 more attempts ...]

Nov 22 12:05:51 MacBookPro launchd: com.zimbra.zcs: getgrnam("zimbra") failed
Nov 22 12:05:51 MacBookPro launchd: com.zimbra.zcs: exited with exit code: 1
Nov 22 12:05:51 MacBookPro launchd: com.zimbra.zcs: respawning too quickly! throttling
Nov 22 12:05:51 MacBookPro launchd: com.zimbra.zcs: too many failures in succession


This was bad! So I removed the zimbra plist file used by launchd from
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
and now my system is booting clean.
Furtermore I had to remove plenty of stuff such as orphan log files, receipts, the user "zimbra", etc..., etc...

VERY BAD FOR MAC USERS!

that's an incomplete uninstall. use the mac uninstall script
