Resetting SmartConnect to Factory Defaults

SmartConnect is available with SmartServer 4.2 and higher.

You can reset SmartConnect to the factory default configuration, which includes resetting databases, as described below:

1. Open a terminal window connection to the server.
   
   

2. Enter the commands shown below to remove SmartConnect from your server.

   $ sudo apt-get remove --purge smartserver-software $ sudo rm -rf /var/smartserver

    

3. Follow the installation procedure using the .tar.gz package for your SmartConnect software version. See Installing SmartConnect. You do not need to recreate the /etc/smartserver directory or modify the smartserver.ini file.
   
   

4. Once the installation is complete, use the Manage Licenses dialog to manage your customer account and activate licenses. Re-enter the Customer ID for the SmartConnect licenses to re-appear. The Manage Licenses dialog is accessible on system startup as well as from the SmartServer CMS. See Activating Licenses Online Using the SmartServer CMS for more information.
