Uninstall Bugzilla OR reinstall with new DB

[BugDan]

Maybe I need a new prescription for glasses but I have been unable to locate
any documentation in the Bugzilla "/docs" directory and www.bugzilla.org or
even this newsgroup on how to uninstall Bugzilla.

Does anyone have any steps or instructions on doing this?

Alternatively , how do you reinstall Bugzilla from scratch?

Here is the scenario: I started installing Bugzilla with MSSQL installed and
the installation fails because of some problems with MSSQL. Since then I
have installed a working POSTGRES DB and now I want to install Bugzilla
using POSTGRES , not MSSQL.

The problem is it keeps giving me MSSQL errors during the Bugzilla install
which is not what I want it to do now. It seems that Bugzilla has cached
some files that are looking for MSSQL however it let me select a different
database.

How do I force it to take the POSTGRES DB instead of MSSQL ?

Thank you everyone!

Dan.

revert the installation process: undo web server configuration, drop
the Bugzilla database, remove Bugzilla's database user, and remove the
Bugzilla directory. Should Perl modules, Perl as a whole, the database
server, or the web server be in your way, uninstall them, too.

Drop its database, and remove the Bugzilla directory. Then, start
again with a fresh Bugzilla directory and the installation
instructions.

This is probably due to the fact that Bugzilla doesn't support MSSQL
at all. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=285122.

Kind regards

You need to change $db_driver in the localconfig file.

Also, Bugzilla doesn't support even connecting to a MS-SQL
database, how would you have managed that? Did you mean MySQL?
