When you (if) have finished reading this post you will understand the joy I am having, I feel Great (sarcasm!).
I got home at around 4PM today, Had info etc ready from my newly ordered dedicated server, First things First, install webmin control panel, then apache, mod_perl, mod_rewrite, ftp, mod_ssl and other things, configure everything, 9:20 PM, My last command and I make a typo, A really bad one.
Instead of: yum list openssl - I typed yum remove openssl
Most modules have a dependency on openssl therefore went too, I watched all my work dissapear in front of me, I then type in yum install openssl only to find the yum command is broken and im stuck with regular SSH.
I contacted the Datacenter and hopefully tommorow Ill have everything backup, I get 3K uniques per day, and increasing on this site, Users will go elsewere
There is my moaning stupid idiotic ARGHHH story!!!
Please share any experiences where you put in time and effort only for it to go to ruins. ( I know worse than this has happened to many of you, But I can still go on about it, right?)
PS. My keyboard got it when I broke it, Im glad it dont have feelings.
And from the datacentre:
"You managed to remove basically all packages on this system except the kernel itself. RPM and yum are both gone. You will need to put in a reload request for this server in order to get it back online. Please use the following URL to submit a reload request"......
Oh Joy!
