How can I revert all changes I made to my webfaction setup?

Hello, I started an app using python 2.6 and django 1.3 with mod_wsgi 3.2. I then SSHed into my site, installed some python modules, and made various settings changes. I would like to revert all changes and start fresh. Would this merely entail deleting the web app I created and starting a new one using the same settings (django 1.3, python 2.6, and mod_wsgi 3.2). Or is it possible to change settings beyond apps, meaning to get back to "fresh install" settings, I would need to do more? Please help, thanks.

(Basically I was experimenting since this is my first experience with hosting a site and would like to revert all settings).

If all you did was create an app and install some Python modules, then you can reset everything with the following steps:

Delete the app.
Delete the contents of your ~/lib/python2.6 directory
Delete the contents of your ~/bin directory.

Hope that helps!

Thanks, that basically takes care of most of it. I also did the following to update setuptools: 1) easy_install-2.4 --install-dir=$HOME/lib/python2.4 --script-dir=$HOME/bin setuptools==0.6c9 2) export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH Does this mean my path is still altered from how it originally was?

If you added Python libraries to ~/lib/python2.4 then you'll want to empty that out as well.

If you didn't add the PATH export to your shell configuration (~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc) then the path change won't persist past your current login session.
