Uninstall

After you back up your repository and any configurations and before you install the newest FME Server version, you must uninstall the previously installed version of FME Server.

Stopping FME Server and the Web Application Server

For the uninstall process to complete properly, you must first stop both FME Server and your web application server:

To stop FME Server:

For Windows environments, select Start > All Programs > FME Server > Windows Service > Stop.
For Linux/UNIX environments, run the stopServer.sh script in <FMEServerDir>/Server. It should display:

Shutdown status = Shutdown Success

The procedure for stopping the web application server depends on which one you have installed. For further information, refer to the documentation for your application server.

Note: If you have not used the Express Installer and have used an existing Web Application Server and another repository database option, please shut down those services in addition to FME Server service before uninstalling.

Uninstalling Previous Versions of FME Server

Uninstall the previous version of FME Server:

For Windows environments, uninstall FME Server through the Control Panel.
For Linux/UNIX environments, remove the following:
- Your FME Server directory
- All FME .war files and their associated FME servlet directories from the web application deployment directory of your application server
- The fmedatadownloadresults directory from your web server public root directory, if it exists

Proceed to Install.
