In this post we are going to attempt to remove xoops from our build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove Apache Settings
Remove xoops folders Location will be \/var\/www\/flexpaul_net\/xps_
Remove Xoops User from MariaDB
Restart Server<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Disable sites virtual host: a2dissite <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    $ sudo a2dissite xps_<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    2. Remove Files<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    $ sudo rm -v \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/xps_.conf\n\n*OR*\n\n$ sudo rm -v \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/xps_*<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    The 2nd Command will remove all files starting with xps_. Use with caution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    It will remove xps_-le-ssl.conf & xps_.conf in the above example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Remove the xoops files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    $ sudo rm -v -r \/var\/www\/flexpaul_net\/xps_<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    And the “hidden” files<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    $ sudo rm -v -r \/var\/www\/.xps_private<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    That should remove all the files in use for Xoops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Reload Apache2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    $ sudo systemctl reload apache2<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    3. Remove Xoops user and database from MariaDB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    open mysql > <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    $ sudo mysql<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    List your databases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    > SHOW DATABASES;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    You should see a list of available databases, if you followed the previous tutorials<\/a>, we are using database names and users in that tutorial<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Delete the database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    > DROP DATABASE myxpsdb;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    and finally delete the user for that database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Let’s list users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    > SELECT user FROM mysql.user<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Then we remove our xoops database user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    > DROP USER myxpsdbuseruser@localhost;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    We can then exit MariaDB (mysql).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    > exit;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    That should be it.  You could reboot the server at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    $ sudo reboot now<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Good Luck<\/p>\n\n\n
