Title: uninstall phpmyadmin
Post by: Jeff Coleman on November 22, 2001, 08:39:18 PM

Newbie question.

I no longer need phpMyAdmin on my server.  What is the syntax to remove the rpm "e-smith-phpmyadmin-0.2-3.noarch.rpm"?

Thanks - jeff

rpm -u? I know that there is a switch for RPM to remove a package.

Think you mean rpm -e ?  You could allways try man rpm for more help.

When I do an rpm -e I get the following message:

error: package e-smith-phpmyadmin-0.2-3.noarch.rpm is not installed

Anyone have any ideas?

Instead of

   rpm -e e-smith-phpmyadmin-0.2-3.noarch.rpm

just do

   rpm -e e-smith-phpmyadmin-0.2-3

or even

   rpm -e e-smith-phpmyadmin

You hand -e a package name, not a filename.

Hope this helps,

-Rich
