help - how to uninstall sharepoint? |
|
|
Under Windows 2003, I have two ISAPI filters for a third-party
application that are not working because, apparently, sharepoint is
interfering. We are guessing this is the case because the third-party
application has a debug log and it keeps referring to owssvr.dll, which
we think is sharepoint-related. I have scoured the net for information
about how to uninstall sharepoint and so far nothing has worked. I
have tried the command line tool, owsadm.exe -o fulluninstall -p 80,
and it starts OK with "Starting fulluninstall, port: 80." but then it
fails almost immediately with "Error: The FrontPage Server Extensions
are not installed on '/LM/W3SVC/1:'." When I log in to the web page at
Administrative Tools->Microsoft Sharepoint Administrator, which by the
way runs under port 8606, there is no option to uninstall sharepoint.
The Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs list also does not contain any
references to sharepoint. I looked under the Windows Components area
in Add Remove Programs but I do not see any sharepoint references. We
installed Windows Server 2003 and apparently selected the sharepoint
option just to see how it worked but now we don't want it anymore and
it is in fact interfering as I said with another business critical
tool!
In IIS Manager, I see Application Pool->Default App Pool and
Application Pool->MSSharePointAppPool; also I see Web Sites->Default
Web Site and Web Sites->Microsoft Sharepoint Administration. Under Web
Sites, ISAPI filters, I see the third party filters that I need and
ASP.NET_1.1.4322.2032; under Default Web Site, I see fpexedll.dll; and
there are no ISAPI filters under Microsoft Sharepoint Administration.
So what can/should I do? Is it OK to delete the MSSharePointAppPool
application pool and Microsoft Sharepoint Administration web site?
Should I disable the ASP.NET and/or fpexedll.dll filter? Is there a
way to modify the existing sharepoint redirection so that it does not
apply to http://myservername//appname ?? The third party app is
working, if I point to http://myserver:8880/appname. But the whole
point is that I should be able to use http://myserver/appname. Thank
you all for your assistance.

I don't know if this helps, but:
1. you should disable the ISAPI filters before uninstalling sharepoint
2. When you choose to install sharepoint again, please choose "Server farm",
this way it will not install on any web site. You will decide afterwards
which site will hold sharepoint.
3. If you want both to coexist and hava /appname map to the real
application, go to Virtual Server Settings and exclude the path "/appname"
from sharepoint.
Hope it helps

Hello Eben,
Try the "Excluded Path" first to see if your third-party app works:

This is all good info. Thank you. However, when I do a search for
stsadm.* I cannot find anything! For example, "dir c:\stsadm.* /s"
says the file cannot be found. And there is nothing in my Start Menu
indicating a shortcut to Sharepoint Central Administration. The only
thing is under Administrative Tools->Microsoft Sharepoint
Administrator; and incidentally when I log in it only gives me the
option to extend the Default Web Site. So it leaves me wondering if
sharepoint is even running but clearly something is running since the
third party app debug log references owssvr.dll!!

First, if installed, stsadm.exe will be found in the BIN directory of the 60
Hive located here by default:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\60\BIN
However, it actually sounds to me like you may have SharePoint Team Services
or even just FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE) installed.
Using Add or Remove Programs, can you see Microsoft Windows SharePoint
Services (WSS) 2.0? How about SharePoint Team Services (STS)? If either or
both are listed and you are not using them, removing them may correct the
situation.
If they are not listed, you may still have FPSE installed. You can remove
that by clicking Add Remove Windows Components in the left nav section of
Add or Remove Programs. When the Windows Components Wizard finally shows,
select Application Server and then click the Details button. Select Internet
Information Services (IIS) and click the Details button again. If FrontPage
2002 Server Extensions is checked, and you do not need it installed, uncheck
it and click the OK button twice. Complete the wizard by clicking the Next
button.
I don't know how well FPSE cleans up after itself on uninstall. So, if FPSE
was listed and you removed it and you still have issues. Look for
subdirectories in you Web sites that start with _vti. You should be able to
delete them.
Good luck,
<Todd />
