Uninstall Tomcat!

[andethen]

I have Tomcat 3.x installed on my cpanel box, which I installed a while ago. Anyway it has done nothing but eat up memory and no one uses it anyway so I would like to uninstall it, but I can't seem to find any directions to that effect.

It was a cinch to install, it should be just as easy to uninstall, right? Any help is sincerely appreciated.

I'm in the same boat ... any idea how to uninstall Tomcat (4.1 here)?

Doesn't seem that obvious at the moment

Any help gratefully appreciated!

Dont uninstall it, just leave it alone but stop tomcat. It would take a rocket scientist to find all occurances of tomcat splashed all over your HD. Here is how you can stop it! This is what i did.
Tomcat is a nuisance and a resource hog!


First stop it:

/usr/sbin/stoptomcat

Then /etc/httpd/conf

pico httpd.conf and find all occurances of the word mod_jk. Comment out all the mod_jk lines. Then find the includes line and comment that out. Now find index.jsp and remove that if installed.

Exit out, save and restart apache /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

Now load ntsysv

/usr/sbin/ntsysv

Scroll down until you find tomcat and toggle the star to blanks, [ ]

Save, exit out. You have now disabled it from starting at bootup.

If you added it to services for monitoring then remove it from /etc/chkserv.d and also from /var/run/chkservd/ then restart chkserver.

Your done!

Hi,
I followed all the steps, but tomcat still shows unders restart services in whm:
How can that be removed please?

You can uninstall tomcat from addonmodules in WHM. DId you try that ?

Indeed. And please don't dig up a 4 year old thread! For something like that, if you've done the obvious and tried to remove it through WHM Addon Modules, then either start a thread or if you've installed it yourself manually, check on over the app developers site.
