How to uninstal everything ?

Hello,

I want to remove the script and all its created directories off my server and start over again.

In ftp or telnet - I am not allowed to delete anything.... it says I do not have permission. I try to chmod everything 777 and I am not allowed to even change the permissions on the directories...

How do I delete and uninstall the program and the directories ?

Thanks for any reply's !

can you log in as root? if so, do that and then you can delete anything! :)

I'm a newbie,

What do you mean by "log in as root" ?

I'm using a virtual account....

Do I need to get my host to remove it ?

Thanks for your reply.

You should have permissions to chmod/delete as the current user.

Try running this perl script....

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

my $path = "/PATH/TO/LINKSQL/CGI";
my $html = "/PATH/TO/LINKSQL/HTML";

my $output = `rm -r $path`;
my $second = `rm -r $html`;

print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print "$output\n";
print "$second\n";

NOTE: That will delete ALL files/directories in the two specified directories.
