Uninstalling WebSpellChecker on Linux

This guide will help you to perform a complete uninstall of WebSpellChecker Server on a Linux-based environment.

1. Stop AppServer

Uninstall the existing copy of the application as described below.

If you have any custom settings and/or dictionaries that you plan to reuse, you need to back up them before uninstalling, migrating, and upgrading.

For example:

If you have already changed any values of the AppServer parameters in AppServerX.xml configuration file, you may need to transfer these settings to a new server. Otherwise, these parameters values can become incompatible.
Back up the CustomDictionaries folder (<WebSpellChecker_Installation_Path>/AppServer/CustomDictionaries) with global custom dictionaries and its CustDictConfig.xml configuration file.
Back up the UserDictionaries folder (<WebSpellChecker_Installation_Path>/AppServer/UserDictionaries) with all personal user dictionaries created by end users.

1. Deactivate a license. Refer to the License Deactivation on Linux guide for details.

Please note that if you want to install your application package on a different server, you need to deactivate your license first.

2. Run the rm -rf command to remove the application files:

sudo rm -rf <WebSpellChecker_Installation_Path>/WSC
