Hi paladino.

I think that the only way you have to restore this is a complete reinstall.

You can chown all websites simply taking user and group from /etc/passwd, but for the rest of your files (conf files, sitem files, all files in /var/...) you can't do anything.

That's right, and you can chown the rest of the system files copying from another installed system. But that will take you a lot of time and it must be an identical system with the same applications. This is an operating system issue. Sorry but bad luck...you did't man.

Yes, it's possibible to have a script to do it, but you need someone that creates it!

You can move files to a partition that you won't delete, you can buy a backup space or a VPS to move files if you can't move them from the old server.

I have had annother idea that seems to be more intelligent:

1 - Disable IspCP and FTP access
2 - Disable Suexec
3 - Launch "chown -R apache2:apache2 /var/www/virtual/"
4 - Launch "chmod -R 755 /var/www/virtual/"
5 - Restart apache

DON'T reboot the server, maybe it won't come up anymore.

6 - Buy another server
7 - Install IspCP
8 - Create all users
9 - Move files (using rsync)
10 - Chown all users directories (take new user and group from /etc/passwd)
11 - Update DNS records

I think that's the best solution for you.

http://www.isp-control.net/documentation...ate_config

or
#/etc/init.d/ispcp_daemon stop
#/var/www/ispcp/engine/ispcp-rqst-mngr
#/etc/init.d/ispcp_daemon start

RE: Problem with chown
That's the best choice.

Don't worry, i've also done an error like your's Smile (the ssh output is now in front of me, over my desk). I launched a "mv htdocs /* *".

I think you need a backup server... Of course you won't repeat this error another time, but maybe something else will happen...
