if I set to no in custom build and do build update and build all d shouldn't they be removed from DA and not work?
 
to clarify they still show in the user panel, I have removed the directories and stuff
 
ok I will try that in a bit.
trying to narrow down why no users (actually all are my accounts right now) can receive emails. exim/dovecot show handing off to fine so I wanted to remove the webmail temporarily to remove complications.
 
when most webapps fail due to running nginx on directadmin no sense assuming things.
 
at one point in all this stuff yesterday client apps (outlook, etc) could get the mails.
self installed roundcube could sometimes.
cb2 installed roundcube could not.
cb2 installed squirrelmail actually has never worked for me but thats a php issue.
items setup with forwarders always worked while normal accounts did not.
so yeah, I also needed to remove these 2 apps to actually fix them and I wanted to do it then to get them out of my way.

No, they won't be removed.

How do you know that? Do you see them in /home/username/imap/domain.com/ ?

Since they use IMAP, it does not have any sense to remove them.
 
it was a bunch of unrelated items that cropped up at once.
the webmail apps did need to be reinstalled, there were (actually squirrel still has it) php errors as well as db error.

nothing. this was due to spamd blocking everything incoming. and initially I could not see that spamd was blocking, took me a bit to prove that and correct it.

except for the php errors making them unusable.
I fixed roundcube, set that as the default in directadmin.config.
squirrelmail still tossing error on php 5.4.15 but since I don't like it and I do like roundcube that was an easy fix :) :)

I expected that if they (or any app) was installed through CB there was a way to uninstall through CB. and I think this is where I went wrong.
 
custombuild script currently does not support uninstallation of any software. So it's up to you to remove a software, you don't want to have any longer.
 
what is best (safest) way to do that?
I have not checked but I assume yum (on centos) would not work, am I correct there?
thinking a make uninstall is correct method but am unsure.

Do we still talk about squirrelmail/roundcube? If yes, then remove them from /var/www/html and disable in options.conf.
Of course you should take of links to the webapps in directadmin (hide them as it was already mentioned).
 
well I was talking more in general at this point since I fixed the issues the topic was started under.
 
If to talk about webapps, you know now how to do that. If to talk about services, then you stop and disable them, if you want to remove, then you should run

Code: 
make uninstall

in the directory with sources of a software, you're willing to remove. That's up to you to clean configs and other files, which might stay after uninstallation.
