Let me explain the state of the server before the problem first.

My /usr directory was on the / partition, but the /usr/lib directory was a symlink to /home/usr/lib which I had done to free up space on the / partition. Now just today I read some things on here and decided to move my entire /usr directory to the /home partition, but because the lib directory was already there, I needed to move it out first. So this is what I did:

1) Remove symlink /usr/lib to /home/usr/lib
2) Move /home/usr/lib directory to /home/lib.old
3) Remove /home/usr directory
4) Copy (cp -Rp) /usr directory to /home/usr
4) Move /usr to /usr.old
5) Copy (cp -Rp) /home/lib.old to /home/usr/lib
6) Create symlink /usr to /home/usr (ln -s /usr /home/usr)
7) Reboot.

After I rebooted I was going to remove the two old directories (/usr.old and /home/lib.old) however the server never started up properly. If I attempt to access a site on the server (example: http://sys.xirgo.com) it returns an HTTP 500 Internal Server Error. If I try to ping the IP though (216.12.208.30, 216.12.208.152, 216.12.208.153) I get no response. This isn't making any sense to me whatsoever.

In any case, I am thinking that someone needs to console in to the box and:

1) Remove symlink /usr
2) Move /usr.old to /usr
3) Move /home/lib.old to /usr/lib
4) Reboot.

Please advise ASAP! Thank you much.

Are you sure you typed "ln -s /usr /home/usr".
Shouldnt it be the other way round ("ln -s /home/usr /usr")?

My host is looking at it, they are taking awhile though.

what did you end up doing?
