Completely remove AWStats

[crispy78]

Is there a way to completely uninstall AWStats from the server and Plesk?

The reason is the following, I've rented a DDS at Strato and they have provided me with a corrupt AWStats installation. I could reinstall the server but then I would lose all my clients data like email, files, settings, etc. So that's not a thing a like to do. I would like to completely remove AWStats and then set it up from cratch.
I'm a Windows man, but have got some experience using Putty and have got the Samba server working aswell.

Some ideas?

if your are running red-hat like OS (like Fedora or SuSe or RedHat) to remove the package use:
rpm -e awstats psa-awstats-configurator
If you are running Debian or Ubuntu use
dpkg -r awstats psa-awstats-configurator

#rpm -e awstats psa-awstats-configurator
error: Failed dependencies:
psa-awstats-configurator is needed by (installed) plesk-core-10.12.0-cos5.build1012110629.18.i386

You can use rpm's --nodeps option to remove only the packages you want without the actual psa dependency, but this is obviously dangerous.

Alternatively, you can force a re-install of good versions of the awstats package, basically overwriting the current configuration, in the same way as you'd re-install a program in Windows.

Again there is a small risk, but I've recently done it and no harm was done.

First download the necessary packages (awstats psa-awstats-configurator for your os and flavour) then:

rpm -ivh --force awstats psa-awstats-configurator

Check the syntax first -- I could be wrong here.

Also remember: do this at your own risk!
