Hi,
I'm having some trouble and for a number of reasons i need to uninstall Direct Admin.

I've searched the forums and all i've come up with is a link to:

http://www.directadmin.com/paths.html

Would i be right in thinking there's no uninstallation script ?

I check the directories and found i have some created by DA that are not in the list ( /usr/home as well as /home/ )

Hello,

/home is in the list (bottom), but I don't think you'll want to be removing it as it comes with the system. :)

The paths.html just lists the paths/files that DA *uses*, not necessarily the ones that it created.

Here is a *general* guidline for uninstalling DA.

1) remove all users through DA.
2) remove the /etc/cron.d/directadmin_cron file (last few lines in the /etc/crontab.conf on FreeBSD)
3) rm -rf /usr/local/directadmin
4) do a pkg_info to get a list of the installed programs. find the main services installed by DA and then use pkg_del to remove them. Apache and php are installed from source, so removing them would have to be done manually.
