Server Done

macmikeal · 06-07-2010, 01:30 PM

Hi had my server going pretty good. Two sites being hosted. wilmingtoncoc.com and mikealrhughes.com. Last night we had Thunderstorms and Tornadoes come through. While I was out Tornado chasing. We lost power here for an instant and back on. When I came in the server was off. So I booted it back up. The mikealrhughes.com site is still working good. The wilmingtoncoc.com site is giving me a Database read error, it is a WordPress site. Also I can't log into the Server using SSH. Where do I start to repair the problem? Do I reinstall SSH if so what is the command I use? Then how do I solve the WordPRess Database problem? Any and all help appreciate!! Also when I try and issue a command from the Server with sudo in front of it I get an error message that says - sudo: must be setuid root - whatever that means. I couldn't find that in any of the books I have.

We need a lot more information to be able to help.

1. What distro of Linux are you using ????????
2.

sudo: must be setuid root

Log in directly as root and do:

Code:

chmod 4755 `which sudo`

. Why: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid

Maybe, probably not. What errors do you get when you try to restart SSH??

No idea, what errors are you getting in your Web server's log(s) or MySQL's log(s)? Is MySQL even running?

Hi,

MySQL might not be running, this could cause the DB errors in Wordpress. Please check whether DB server is running or now.

About SSH, Are you getting any error while SSH to the server? Give me more info, so that we can help you!

1st check your services for both sshd and mysqld. if that is working try logging on directly to your database.

mysql -u root -p -D <database_name> if you can get in then try doing some simple select queries.

if you still are having problems then try doing a restore on the database.

How do I restore the database. I looked through the WordPress files and saw a repair.php but don't know how to run that.
