PingAccess

Uninstalling the RHEL agent

Remove the PingAccess agent from a RHEL system. These steps apply to a PingAccess agent manually installed with an Apache Server, an Oracle HTTP Server, or an IBM HTTP Server.

If you installed the PingAccess agent using the standard installation process, uninstall it with the following command:

sudo yum remove pingaccess-agent*.*

About this task

<$SERVER_HOME> refers to the home install directory of your HTTP server.

Steps

  1. Remove the <$SERVER_HOME>/conf/agent.properties file.

    Example:

    rm <$SERVER_HOME>/conf/agent.properties

  2. Remove the following directive from the configuration file, <$SERVER_HOME>/conf/httpd.conf.

    Example:

    Include conf/10-paa.conf

  3. Remove 10-paa.conf from its installed location.

    Example:

    rm <$SERVER_HOME>/conf/10-paa.conf

  4. Remove the mod_paa.so file from the modules directory.

    Example:

    rm <$SERVER_HOME>/modules/mod_paa.so
    To restore the server to its original state, you might also need to remove other modules installed as dependencies.

  5. Restart the service with one of the following commands:

    Choose from:

    • Apache: systemctl restart httpd

    • IBM HTTP Server: apachectl restart

    • Oracle HTTP Server: <$ORACLE_HOME>/user_projects/domains/base_domain/bin/restartComponent.sh <$OHS_COMPONENT_NAME>
