| You've issued a command that delete all folders under /var directory. There are a lot of things you need to fix/recover beside database problem.

| Yes you deleted alot of MySQL stuff and other important files Because you deleted the contents of /var
|
| Posted by Lees Mark, 01-02-2008, 05:56 PM |
| I think the answer could be "Yes!". You can check if your MySQL databases are still exist or not here /var/lib/mysql.

| i haven't got backups softlayer can't login to server but im currently logon can i get them back thanks for your help

| Yes, they are now gone. Do you have any backup of your database? Also, I think it's not an easy task for you to restore everything back in normal.

| You should call softlayer tech support and ask them since they setup the server they would be able to tell you everything installed in /var

| Only way to get the files back is restoring from a backup (if you have one)
If you don't have a backup, then you are going to have to tell your clients that you deleted their databases

| What is the proper commmand to accomplish what the OP wanted to do. I assume he/she wants to remove everything in the /tmp partition?

| Posted by Lees Mark, 01-02-2008, 08:25 PM |
| He means you wanted to delete everything inside /tmp directory.
