Uninstall Module

  • This tutorial is in relation to the "Cloning Module SE4" tutorial.

     

    If you happen to encounter an error in installing your cloned module you need to go back to step 1 and reapply the sequential renaming and also the renaming of files and directories (See the tutorial "Clone Module SE4"). But you also need to unistall the cloned module you uploaded in your server. The problem here is there is no uninstall manual inside SE but don't worry we can still manage this by doing the uninstall through FTP.

    1. Open and login to your server using your favorite FTP client.
    2. Go to this location /public_html/temporary/package/packages and see if your uploaded module is there. Delete it if it exist there.
    3.  Go to this location /public_html/temporary/package/archives and see if your uploaded module is there. Delete it if it exist there. This file is hidden in this directory, allow to show hidden files in your FTP client then delete the file.
    4. Go to this location /public_html/application/modules and see if your uploaded module is there. Delete it if it exist there. 
    5. Go to this directory /public_html/application/packages and look for the filename named after your module name only it has a .json extension (your-cloned-module-version.json) and delete it.

    After you are finish doing the cloning procedure as enumerated in the "Cloning Module SE4" Tutorial go back to your site's admin panel and upload your cloned module again. See if it works now. Good luck!
