I’d rather not reformat the computer at this point, but I had set up RS on a test development Mac and I no longer need it.

Short of reformatting the Mac (which I could do), is there some documented method for uninstalling an installed Resourcespace installation?

Thanks!

Hi Steve,
I am on a Mac as well. Perhaps I can help--what OS version are you at currently and what did you install on your system to make RS run locally ie Homebrew, MAMP, or other?

Resourcespace itself is just a folder containing PHP files, delete the folder and you have deleted Resourcespace entirely.  You may have installed and setup additional software that ResourceSpace depends upon to run properly such as Apache, PHP, ImageMagick and you may or may not want to uninstall or reconfigure those things depending on your setup.

So, I have this running on Mac OSX Server 10.10 using the basic instructions from here (the "install MacPorts and install ResourceSpace from Subversion" method...)


(I had installed this years ago and have updated the server OS multiple times, but now I want to stop the default web service from loading ResourceSpace and just go back to the OSX Server default web page...)

The only thing that you really need to do is reset OSX Web server to default and thats the last step below.  The reverse of what you did to install on the link that you provided would be:

Use MacPorts to add the remaining packages

sudo port remove mysql5 ffmpeg ImageMagick p5-image-exiftool antiword xpdf subversion ghostscript ufraw wget

(There is currently a bug in the port for gimp2 which is a dependant of ufraw, so if you do not need raw support you should leave out ufraw Sep-09)

Configure php.ini

sudo cp /etc/php.ini.default /etc/php.ini
  • Install ResourceSpace from Subversion
sudo rm -R /Library/WebServer/Documents/resourcespace 

mysql -u root -e "drop database resourcespace"

Set up the cron job

cd ~
nano mycrontab

Remove the line:

0 1 * * * wget -q -r http://localhost/pages/tools/cron_copy_hitcount.php

Ctrl+O, Ctrl+X to save and quit, then do:

crontab mycrontab

Finally...

Use caution with this one becasue it will wipe out all apache settings and restrore them to facory defualt, so if you have other settings that you want to keep, this would wipe them out.  To reset the webserver in OSX run the command sudo serveradmin command web:command=restoreFactorySettings
