I got Bluemind installed on Ubuntu 12.04, however, something messed up the other programs I’m running in apache. I don’t know if it was the Bluemind installer itself or something I did to set up the fully qualified domain name.
Here’s what happens. My ubuntu server, host name was ubuntuVM. I changed it to ubuntuVM.mycompany.local. The IP address is 192.168.200.227. From another computer on my network, I go to the url of one of the other programs, such as http://192.168.200.227/phpMyBackupPro-2.2/phpMyBackupPro/ The URL in the browser gets changed to: https://ubuntuVM.fontana.local/phpMyBackupPro-2.2/phpMyBackupPro/ and the page doesn’t load because it can’t find ubuntuVM.fontana.local. So I put an entry in the host file of the client computer and now I get the blue mind page, even if the url points to phpmybackuppro.
I changed the hostname of the server back to what it was originally, and it still behaves as described above.
So my next step is to uninstall Bluemind and hope that fixes the problem, but I can’t find any instructions for how to do that.
Blue Mind is designed to be installed on a dedicated server or VM.
You can reconfigre NGinx, to redirect /phpMyBackupPro to the right apache virtualhost, but this will be overriden on every Blue Mind update.
To uninstall Blue Mind, you can run: sh bluemind-installer-1.XX.XXXX-rhel6.bin uninstall or simply remove all bm-* packages. But you may reconfigure your apache we guess.
sudo sh bluemind-installer-1.13.8921-precise.bin uninstall
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Well, that didn’t quite work. Conf and jdk didn’t show up in synaptic at first so I couldn’t reinstall them from there. So I reran the installer script, and then they showed up in synaptic, so then I installed them. I think that worked. I then tried to uninstall everything but them, and I still had errors about non-empty directories in var/log and var/lib. So I deleted these directories by hand. Then I tried to remove conf and jdk. I think bm-conf is gone, but when I uninstall bm-jdk it fails because it can’t find /usr/bin/bm_java_home.
I still see some bm- folders in various places. Can I just delete these by hand and be done with it? It looks like the uninstaller still has a few bugs in it.
Did I miss the warning that says that Blue-Mind needs its own dedicated server? If there isn’t one, it sure would be nice if there was one, prominently placed on the download page. It might save someone else a whole bunch of trouble.
Hm, strange… Could you send bm-jdk uninstall error message please ?
Try to remove bm-jdk first, and finish by removing bm-conf.
There is a mistake on Blue Mind 2 documentation on our web site, warning about installing on a dedicated server was forgotten… It’s fix, and we’ll add this on installer too. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Well, there are no longer any bm- packages listed in synaptic, so I can’t uninstall it without reinstalling it again. As I recall, the message was very similar to this one for bm-locator or most of the other ones in the previous log I posted here. Except it referred to bm-jdk instead of bm-locator.

I think my only problems now are nginx is running automatically on reboot and apache isn’t. I tried to uninstall nginx, but it is not shown as installed. However a PS shows it running. I can kill it, and start apache, and everything seems back to normal. Any idea how to get rid of nginx? I’m assuming it isn’t a standard part of the ubuntu installation.
