Uninstalling from the server
erprakhyat - July 29, 2008 - 04:47
Ok here is my case. A year ago I made a website using drupal and uploaded it in the internet. Now I want to uninstall it and upload a new website which is not a drupal. I may have forgotten about all the files in the installation. I only have a dreamweaver to upload my current website. This new website is a simple web page developed without drupal. Now how do i delete all the drupal files from the server and start fresh. please help

Hi erprakhyat, I thing if
Hi erprakhyat, I thing if you used Dreamveawer to upload your files, sure you have the possibility to connect
via FTP to your Host and select all files of Drupal, what I guess are in a Drupal folder.
If you installed directly on root of your Web space then first download a Drupal Package(in this case i guess Drupal 5 version) unpack on your pc and you can see all the folder and files you have to delete on your host via FTP.
For the Database, connect via phpMyAdmin to your Database account and Drop the Database that Drupal filled.
If you do not know the name of the Drupal Database then download
settings.phpthat is in the Drupal installation folder : /sites/default. Open with a text editor and see in the line:$db_url = 'mysql://username:password@localhost/databasename';in place of "database name" will be the name of your installed Database. This is the one
you have to delete/drop in your Database(guess MySql) account.
That's it
Cheers
