URGENT PLEASE HELP

Posted March 16, 2013 7.6k views
Hi, After experimenting on another server I had installed webmin with virtual min but unfortunately this messed up my permissions, then I reinstalled from backup and my browser is telling me it cannot connect, then I restored from backup and I get this error when trying to sud apt-get install apache or proftpd to try and get my files back to start from scratch, what do I do? Thanks, Marcus

you might be booted to rescue mode, you will have mount your drive and use scp command to copy your files to another server

sudo mount -o remount,rw /

this will mount your drive which will give you access to your files.
