I have decided to go with Zoho Mail, they offer too much features and it's for free! The problem is, I can't seem to remove iRedMail. Whenever I visit maghnatis.com/mail/ I get the database error. I downloaded clear_iredmail.sh but that did not do the job. I'm gonna remove it manually but I can't seem to figure out where it is located.

Delete iRedMail's generated virtualhosts:



rm /etc/apache2/conf.d/roundcubemail.conf

rm /etc/apache2/conf.d/cluebringer.conf




Restart Apache:



sudo service apache2 restart

I seem to be having the same issue but removing both of the .conf files did not help me. 

In my case, my root is being redirected to /mail/ automatically. 

I tried grep -r -i iredmail /etc/apache2 which returned this :



/etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl:	SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/iRedMail_CA.pem

/etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl:	SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/iRedMail.key

/etc/apache2/conf.d/awstats.conf:# File generated by iRedMail (2014.02.11.19.26.42):

/etc/apache2/conf.d/awstats.conf:# Project:  http://www.iredmail.org/

/etc/apache2/conf.d/awstats.conf:# Community: http://www.iredmail.org/forum/

/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default-ssl:	SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/iRedMail_CA.pem

/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default-ssl:	SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/iRedMail.key



then listing the content of /etc/apache2/conf.d/

awstats.conf  charset  gitweb  iredadmin.conf  javascript-common.conf  localized-error-pages  other-vhosts-access-log  security



so I removed iredadmin and the awstarts conf files, restarted apache but my root is still being redirected to /mail/



am I missing anything here?

@colmliamoneill: Check /var/www/index.html—is it redirecting to /mail?
