does any one know how to uninstall  awstats-sme-server-1.0.0-2.noarch.rpm

hello Darren,

... you can check if the full list of rpm's by ( i guess in order of installation dates/times) ....

rpm -qa

or ..

rpm -q awstats

to uninstall it use ....

rpm -e awstats

but you are better off just Upgrading the package and maintaining some of its default settings by using ...

rpm -Uvh awstats

ofcourse the
U stands for Upgrade if already installed else install
v to verify dep and installation
h to give the # status information if the point of upgarde or installation (good for long big packets)

regards,
aniston.
