Unable to uninstall 2.0.0M8 on Mac OSX Mountain Lion

[Tony Obermeit <to...@tamborine.to>]

Looking for help to uninstall apache directory server.

I've been using 1.5.5 on another machine succesfully, set up new machine
with 2.0.0M8 but it works differently so I wanted to uninstall 2.0 and
install 1.5.7

I removed these files

/Library/LaunchDeamons/org.apache.directory.server.plist
/usr/local/apacheds-2.0.0-M8  (removed entire directory)
/usr/bin/apacheds

I tried to install 1.5.7 but get the error: "Apache Directory Server
1.5.7can't be installed on this disk.  A newer version of this software
already exists on this system."

Any help would be appreciated, I've spent several hours with google
searches and apache jira forum searches with no luck for the solution.

Hi Tony,

OS X keeps receipt files of the previous installation and checks the version number before installing a new one.

These receipts files can be removed with the following command:
> sudo rm -rf /var/db/receipts/org.apache.directory.server.*


We will try to provide a shell script in the next version automatically clean everything.

Regards,
Pierre-Arnaud
