While I was installing the JES 2005, there happen a mistake and setup crashed. I have run uninstall. After the uninstallation I try to setup JES 2005 again but this time these two server "Portal server and Web server" seeming as installed. How can I install these again? How can I fix this problem?

I have tried rpm -qa |grep sun | xargs rpm - V command and very long list camed. I have copied little part of it. What I have to do after that?

Probably what has happened is the "product registry" that the installer keeps has gotten out of sync with the rpm data base.There are some special tools and techniques available through service if you have a service contract; if you don't one rather brutal thing to try is to simply remove /var/opt/sun/install/registry.xml (I think that's the right name, I don't have a Linux install around right now to look at.) Normally you'd never want to do this since it would mess up all future installs, but since you're already in that state, it can't make things worse.

If that doesn't work, I'm afraid the next thing to try is wiping the disk and re-installing the OS.

Check the upgrade guide on docs.sun.com, you can find it here: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2331. You can't just install a new version on top of a previous one, the individual components have to be upgraded through use of the package manager.

I wouldn't go as far as saying the whole OS needs to be re-installed, thats way too drastic for something as trivial as this. If worse comes to worst you can always use the "rpm" command to forcifly remove the packages after which you can install them again. Or simply save your config files, perform an uninstall and then install the new product.
