Essentially delete everything in your instal bin directory that starts with zm. e.g.
and then remove the web files
Code: Select all
rm -r /var/www/html/zm
rm /var/www/cgi-bin/*zms*
and finally drop the database
I think that's all that comes to mind off the top of my head. You will have to change the paths to match your set up however.

Actually I've surprised myself as 'make uninstall' should pretty much work, if not then 'make -i uninstall'. The only things left might be zms and nph-zms in /var/www/cgi-bin (or whatever you have defined) and the directories under the zm web directory. You will have to manually delete those for now but Ive put some tweaks in the Makefile for future versions.
The database will still be left however and you will have to manually drop that and any users you may have created etc.

Good. Though I'm not trying to encourage people to uninstall ZM of course!
