Hello,

I accidently executed the command "rm -rf /*" - Luckily I canceled the command after 2 seconds already. Still I have some missing files and other bugs on my system:

- rpm missing/not working

- yum "works" but it says "compression xz missing" (installing/updating any packages is impossible)

---> makes installing packages like compression xz nearly impossible?

I didn't know any way to fix it. I hope someone of you can help me.

I just tried to set up a new server and restore all websites, but I have troubles moving the mysql databases. I don't get them to work. (Problem is that I'm unable to start the mysql service.

Linux MariaDB MySQL UNIX
