Topic: HELP! EMERGENCY - I DELETED SAMBA

[william_syd]

Out of curiosity, do your yum logs show what was erased ?

Code: [Select]

cat /var/log/yum/yum.log |grep Erased

or did they get erased as well?

[piedie]

Nope...

Code: [Select]

49 things. Amazing. All i did was deleting Samba...

[raem]

> All i did was deleting Samba

It would have been safer to just use
rpm -e packagename

eg
rpm -e samba

piedie

> 49 things. Amazing.

So have you now confirmed with
rpm -qa packagename
that all those erased rpms are now reinstalled ?

[piedie]

Yes, I reinstalled all those things.

Yes, I get that now. In the first place i did not even want to remove Samba. I was sleeping and stupid, I wanted to remove cups.

But whatever. Lets fix this!

[raem]

> Yes, I reinstalled all those things.

Have you done a
signal-event post-upgrade
reboot
after reinstalling all the rpms ?

[piedie]

Yes, I did.

[piedie]

Yes, I did.

>Any idea how to fix my users and other stuff again?

sounds like /home/e-smith/db/accounts was affected/deleted/blanked
do you have a recent backup of accounts
copy back and post-upgrade/reboot

[william_syd]

do you have a recent backup of accounts
copy back and post-upgrade/reboot

Maybe see whats in there first.

Code: [Select]

db accounts show | grep user

[piedie]

Code: [Select]

globalUP=userpanelglobal
    FirstName=global user
user-password=url

And for grep group:

Code: [Select]

UserAccess=wr-admin-rd-group
    UserAccess=wr-group-rd-everyone


Guess that is gone.... (?) Where to look in my backups?

Guess that is gone.... (?) Where to look in my backups?

As per snoble's post.

[piedie]

Will try this next tuesday... Can't access the files from here.

Thank you, i'll keep you posted. Some same sort of file for the ibays maybe?

[raem]

piedie

All databases are located in
/home/e-smith/db/....

accounts is a main db with lots of information, including users & ibays & groups & pseudonyms

Depending how your backups are done, you will have a smeserver.tar.gz file or files or similar.
Unpack that file(s) and extract the accounts db
Keep a copy of the accounts db file currently on your system before you replace it with your backup copy, just in case.

[piedie]

The backups were not okay. But: there were some files called *.rpmsave, eg accounts.rpmsave. Accounts was only 1 KB, accounts.rpmsave 8kb. I renamed all of the .rpmsave files to their original name, and it seems to work! All of my groups and users appear in the manager again!

How does this work?
