Drop the DB and delete the files

Post by Maliuta »

When you did the initial install do you remeber what you named the DB in the creation scripts? (I called mine "blog")
<P>
I am using postgres so I have the CLI tool dropdb which I can use to drop the database. You should be able to find the name of the database in the administration section of serendipity, and then use the method approriate to your DB server to drop it. Once you have done that simply delete the files that form the codebase of serendipity.
<P>
Once you have done that you can start anew by un-tarring the .tar.gz file.
