Topic: reinstall or uninstall

Hi. I've managed to set up iredmail before on this ubuntu hardy server using ldap but I messed up a bit so I did a reinstall, however I ran into problems.... I've purged the packages but didn't help really, I've tried setting up with a mysql backend but the error its displaying
"DATABASE ERROR: CONNECTION FAILED!

Unable to connect to the database!
Please contact your server-administrator."

So I'm after doing a reinstall or uninstall to help solve my problems, great work when it was working it worked a treat...very nice work indeed.

Thanks in advance.

Re: reinstall or uninstall

It's NOT recommended to perform a RE-install.

If you want to perform a re-install, please remove all mail related packages which installed by iRedMail, and remove remaining configuration files, include MYSQL databases, LDAP data, all of them.
