Disable lightweight forwarding in 4.1 from command line

I stupidly enabled Lightweight forwarding from the web interface and now I can't get the web interference to load. How can I Disable lightweight forwarding from Linux command line so that I can get things back to normal. I'm using 4.1 so the set server-type no longer works.

In the app.conf file located in your etc\apps\SplunkLightForwarder\local folder adjust the settings to:

[install]
state = disabled

and then restart your Splunk instance, this will do the trick.

splunk disable app SplunkLightForwarder

will do the trick as well
