This section will help you perform a complete uninstallation of WebSpellChecker Server on a Linux-based environment.

1. Stop AppServer if it is running.

2. Uninstall the existing copy of the application as described below.


If you have any custom settings and/or dictionaries that you plan to reuse, you need to back up them before uninstalling, migrating, and upgrading.

For example:

  • If you have already changed any values of the AppServer parameters in AppServerX.xml configuration file, you may need to transfer these settings to a new server. Otherwise, these parameters values can become incompatible.
  • Back up the CustomDictionaries folder  (<WebSpellChecker_Installation_Path>/AppServer/CustomDictionaries) with global custom dictionaries and its CustDictConfig.xml configuration file.
  • Back up the UserDictionaries folder (<WebSpellChecker_Installation_Path>/AppServer/UserDictionaries) with all personal user dictionaries created by end users.

a. Deactivate a license. Refer to the License Deactivation on Linux guide for details.

Please note that if you want to install your application package on a different server, you need to deactivate your license first. 

b. Run the rm -rf command to remove the application files:

sudo rm -rf <WebSpellChecker_Installation_Path>/WSC
