Hi Abhay,

for the tools they are all named openca-* so it should be easy to
uninstall them. Usually the default prefix is /usr, so you will find
them in /usr/bin.

For uninstalling OpenCA, it is a little trickier... have you installed
it from source files or from a binary distro ? If the first, and you
picked a PREFIX/ other than /usr (usually I pick /opt/openca-VERSION
as the prefix), it should be easy to just delete that directory.

If you installed from RPMs you can just use rpm -e .. or, finally, if
you installed by using the .bin files, there should be an uninstaller
somewhere in /usr/shared/*.

Also check if the web-pages are installed in the default Web directory,
usually in /var/www/

As a golden rule, I do usually pick a PREFIX and a httpd-main-dir to
ease installing multiple versions of OpenCA (to ease smooth testing
of new versions). So, for example, starting from the sources:

  $ ./configure --prefix=/opt/openca-1.1.1 \
        --with-httpd-main-dir=v1.1.1

This installs openca main files in /opt/openca-1.1.1 and the static
web pages and cgi scripts in your main Web directory under:

      htdocs/v1.1.1/...

and

      cgi-bin/v1.1.1/

easy to uninstall/upgrade.

NOTE: Please install the patches from the WiKi website. I am working on
the possibility of having an auto patch-installation system in the future
versions of OpenCA so that when a bug is fixed, it is easy to automatically
update an installed OpenCA (actually the good modular design of OpenCA
allows us to fix most of the issues by just overwriting the command files
with the patched versions - easy!)

So regularly check out the wiki pages at:

        http://wiki.openca.org/wiki/

BTW: I am not sure what you mean by LiveCD - is that CentOS LiveCD ?

Cheers,
Max

P.S.: I am forwarding this email to the OpenCA's Users Mailing list, it
might be useful to other users as well :D

Yes, by all means, it works now.

Today we will be re-installing OpenCA on our CentOS server. First the
tools' uninstall, and then will remove the install-dir recursively to
follow with the installation from Live CD. Sounds like an ok plan?
