How to cleanly uninstall FMSA9

[Jalz]

Hi Guys,

I've got FMSA 9 running on my Mac OSX. Im having trouble with the PHP installation as whenever I try running the test php page I get the following error:

Warning: require_once(FileMaker.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Library/FileMaker Server/Web Publishing/web-server-support/test/fmi-test/phptest.php on line 5

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'FileMaker.php' (include_path='.:') in /Library/FileMaker Server/Web Publishing/web-server-support/test/fmi-test/phptest.php on line 5

I've redeployed it a couple of times and it still isn't working, so I think I might as well reinstall it. I know php is working on the machine as I have a php sample page (not connected to FM) up and running.

Thanks

Jalz

From the install CD/image you can select an uninstall option.

Hi Steven,

Isn't that windows specific? I'll try it on the Mac and see how I get on...

Thanks

I hope this thread is still being watched...

My older server running FMS9 recently passed away, and I put in a new server running 10.7. Needless to say, FMS9 will not run on it, although I tried to get it working.

I experimented with running FMP11 on that machine and accessing the DBs from other machines on the office network, but it's just too clumsy, so I sprang for FMSA11.

Now, unfortunately, FMSA11 will not install, insisting that I delete FMS9 first. Because FMS9 never got working, the installer file will not offer me the Uninstall option.

After checking here, I also deleted the entire library/Filemaker Server folder and dumped the Java cache, but FMSA11 will still not install.

What can i do to manually delete the remaining traces of FMS9?

Thanks.

I took have this issue, except I'm going FMS9->10. I don't see an uninstall option on the installed FMS9 applications; was it only on the DMG distribution?

Isn't there a list of what FMS9 installed?

I believe there are techInfo articles on what files are installed. Search www.filemaker.com/kb

to uninstall you basically have to run the installer again, it provides an uninstall option. Make sure that all FM processes are stopped including the final

sudo launchctl stop com.filemaker.fms
