Uninstalling the agent

When uninstalling New Relic from a PHP application, you must remove the New Relic agent and also remove associated New Relic configuration files.

To uninstall the PHP agent from your system:

1. Remove the agent files from your system:

   RedHat or CentOS

   Run the newrelic-install script with no options and select the uninstall option from the main menu when invoking the script.

   Ubuntu or Debian

   Use apt-get to remove the agent:

   apt-get remove newrelic-php5

2. Remove any remaining New Relic configuration files. Use the newrelic-install or apt-get remove commands with the purge option.

   newrelic-install purge

   OR

   apt-get remove --purge newrelic
   

3. If you use a package manager, remove files specific to the manager:

   RedHat or CentOS

   Using yum:

   sudo yum purge newrelic-php5

   Using rpm (32-bit):

   rpm -e newrelic-php5-common-X.X.X.X (YOUR VERSION #)-1.noarch.rpm newrelic-daemon-X.X.X.X (YOUR VERSION NUMBER)-1.i386.rpm newrelic-php5-X.X.X.X-1.i386.rpm
   

   Using rpm (64-bit):

   rpm -e newrelic-php5-common-X.X.X.X (VERSION NUMBER)-1.noarch.rpm newrelic-daemon-X.X.X.X (YOUR VERSION NUMBER)-1.x86_64.rpm newrelic-php5-X.X.X.X-1.x86_64.rpm
   

   Ubuntu or Debian

   Using apt-get:

   sudo apt-get purge newrelic-php5

   Using dpkg (32-bit):

   dpkg -P newrelic-php5-common_X.X.X.X (YOUR VERSION NUMBER)_all.deb newrelic-daemon_X.X.X.X_i386.deb newrelic-php5_X.X.X.X_i386.deb
