Re: Problem uninstalling/deleting cygwin - Solved
after a (stupid) attempt to install an older version of cygwin over my current installation (using the cygwin time machine mentioned some days ago) I just wanted to throw it away and start anew, but the cygwin directory is undeletable. This is due to some symbolic links from versions of uninstalled programs pointing to nowhere (i.e. /usr/autotool/devel/bin/automake, which is a symlink to automake-1.9). I am able to change owner and permissions of these files to whatever I want, but I can not delete them (Permission denied). What should I do, to get a clean new install? Although I am sure to have installed both versions as the same user (I always use a domain login), those links are owned by my computer login. When I change ownership via windows explorer and set the permissions I need, everything can be deleted. This didn't work with cygwin. Although I was able to change the ownership of the links to any user I wanted, I was not able to delete them.

Re: Problem uninstalling/deleting cygwin
I see from later email that you are having problems removing some files (specifically symlinks). I'd check who actually owns those files, using the Windows Explorer, (right-click on file) Properties-Security tab. See who owns it. You might need to take ownership of the file, or login as the real owner if it was someone else (Administrator?). I should have tried your advice earlier. It took me really long to figure this out, because I actually installed both versions under my domain login, so that all should have belonged to the same user. This was not the case; those symbolic links were owned by my computer login - in contrast to everything else, that could cleanly be deleted. However, installation over the current version of cygwin happened just by accident. The reason for the downgrade as such is the ssh hangs problem (aka Windows XP piping issue), that doesn't occur in 1.5.10-3. After having wiped out the installed version properly I have now been able to install the last 1.5.10-3 version without problems.

Have you completely rebooted (never hurts just to make sure) and followed the directions in the FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq.html I did reboot and read the faq. However, I didn't *first* delete the desktop icon and the registry tree, but tried to delete the cygwin dir prior to this. Also you do not mention what OS which might help you get help. It's W2K. In the meantime I moved the directory away and I am able to install a new cygwin and remove it by deleting the directory. However I can not get rid of the old directory. Everything inside, that's a real file, can be deleted manually by setting the appropriate privileges - what remains are just the stale symbolic links and some symbolic links to Windows files like /etc/hosts to C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\networks.

As mentioned at http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/index.html#cygwincirca, you want to consult [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well, I thought my question had something to do with permissions/ownerships or perhaps stale symbolic links. I doubt, that installing older versions on an existing cygwin installation is the only way to run into such a problem. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Hi Neven, Dunno what's gone wrong here. Let's take a look at those ACLs: open a DOS prompt, change dir into cygwin_root\usr\autotool\bin and show us the output from cacls automake.lnk It would be good to make _sure_ you're logged in with the same user name when trying to delete it as you were when you installed it, particularly if you ran setup.exe with the Install Just for me option. I'm pretty sure I logged in as the same user and I installed globally. cacls just says system can't find the given file (translation from german). As I deleted everything except those links in the meantime, I think this is ok.

Re: Problem uninstalling/deleting cygwin
It says: x cannot be deleted. Access denied. Maybe the source file is opened (maybe this translation from german is bad, but I saw it before, so you'll recognize it). Does any process have this file opened? Try using Process Explorer from SysInternals.com. Process Explorer doesn't show anything (I looked for the handle cygwin.old, i.e. the top level dir). I killed any process that I could (including explorer) and stopped AntiVir, Apache and mysql. No change. Anyway, those stale links cannot be accessed as files at all. I can only see them using ls or apply chmod/chown on them. Nothing else. If I try cat file, it says No such file or directory. File zombies. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
ssh problem on Windows XP
Hello, I know, problems have been reported concerning the use of ssh on windows xp (ssh hangs). I would just like to confirm, if this is, what I'm dealing with. And perhaps somebody knows some workaround until there is a fix. I have a cygwin installation on XP at my customers and on W2K at home. My aim was to make some shellscripts I wrote available to some of the windows users via a php-interface for administrative tasks on their linux internet servers. I am using ssh with public keys to connect to the linux-servers. What works: I can ssh from my linux box to the linux servers. I can call system(ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] command) from php on linux. I can do all this on my W2K box (Vmware), when I start the apache service as the same user, that has the public key. However on the XP computers, I can only use ssh from the command line, calling some script containing ssh via PHP hangs.

Where did You get the old version from? I didn't find any older versions on the cygwin site. It should be a site, that kept a snapshot of the old releases as complete as possible.
