View Full Version : If you've got a RaQ 4i... *** HELP! ***

Stupid me! In an attempt to flush my mail queue, I accidentally removed the files in my root '/' directory. Now my control panel does not work 100% correctly. ( rm /* <--- don't EVER do this! )

If I'm not mistaken, there are only a handful of files in the root directory.

Can someone PLEASE tell me what files are supposed to be in the root directory and if you have updated everything on your RaQ 4i just before the Cobalt OS 2 package file, can you send me copies of your files in your root directory. I'll even pay ya for it - if it's what I need of course... I'm not even sure if this would even work but I'm desperate!

Thanks... and HELP! :-)

If someone out there has a RaQ 4, can you do me a favor and do a:

ls -la /

and then post the results here... that would be a great place for me to start... Thanks for any help!

babak,

Thanks for your help! Based upon your input, I determined that I was only missing 2 symbolic links... NO FILES! So I restored the symbolic links and restarted the control panel. Now all is well.

Thanks again!

Wow, you must have had a scare, rm -r / :( I would have had a heart attack! God, that must be scary.
