Uninstalling ArcGIS Server

The following steps guide you through the ArcGIS Server uninstallation process on Linux.

  1. Stop ArcGIS Server by:
    • Executing the stopserver script (based on the default installation location):

      ${HOME}/arcgis/server/stopserver.sh

    OR:

    • Using the shortcut on your desktop environment: ArcGIS > Stop ArcGIS Server
  2. If ArcGIS Server is configured to be started with the operating system, follow the steps below to remove the daemon:
    1. Switch to root user.
    2. Remove the daemons by executing the commands appropriate for your operating system::

      If your operating system supports systemd, run these commands to remove links in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants:

      systemctl disable arcgisserver.service
      rm -f /etc/systemd/system/arcgisserver.service

      If ArcGIS Server is installed on a Red Hat Linux machine that supports SysV, run these commands:

      $ chkconfig --del arcgisserver
      $ rm -f /etc/rc.d/init.d/arcgisserver

      If ArcGIS Server is installed on a SUSE Linux machine that supports SysV, run these commands:

      $ insserv -r arcgisserver
      $ rm -f /etc/init.d/arcgisserver

    3. End the root user session.
  3. Launch the uninstallation script as shown below (based on the default installation location):

    ${HOME}/arcgis/server/uninstall_ArcGISServer

  4. In the Uninstall dialog box, click Uninstall to proceed with the uninstallation of ArcGIS Server.
  5. Once completed, click Done to exit.
Note:

The uninstaller does not remove configuration, log, and user-created files.
