[SOLVED] mv /* ./ - bin and other folders moved to home directory

Seregwethrin · 06-30-2009, 04:28 PM

Hello;

I should have entered "mv wp/* ./" but I've entered "mv /* ./" by an oversight while in a user directory.

Now bin, sbin, lib and some other root folders have gone to a user directory under home folder.

I can't access most of commands. I can use "cd" but can't use "mv"

Code:

[root@*** public_html]# /home/swtor/public_html/bin/mv   /home/swtor/public_html/bin/*   /bin

-bash: /home/swtor/public_html/bin/mv: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

I get that error most of commands with using the real path "/home/swtor/public_html/bin/xxx", tried with ln, ls etc...

What should I do?

(Centos 5)

I would try booting from a Live CD and mount the volume then relocate things.

It's a web server and i'm using it from ssh

No way to reach it physically...

I saw this once, a long time ago, perhaps it'll help here. I'd use cp rather than mv:

Code:

/lib/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path /lib /home/swtor/public_html/bin/cp -a /home/swtor/public_html/bin/* /bin

If you're on a 64-bit machine, you might find the paths need amending.

Thank you pwc101! Worked successfully with a little modify

Really thank you!
