Thanx getpfunky

Can u tell me in more detail ?

following recovery procedure:

Step 1. Download H-Sphere Installer
Step 2. Generate Configuration Files
Step 3. Resolve Possible Conflicts in the System
Step 4. Run Recovery Tool
Step 5. Restore User Content

Step 1. Download H-Sphere Installer

Download the latest version of the H-Sphere installation scripts (if you already have the previous version of hsinst.tgz in the current directory, please remove or rename this file before the download):
# wget http://www.psoft.net/shiv/HS/hsinst.tgz
Untar/ungzip the hsinst.tgz archive:
# tar xfz ./hsinst.tgz
and cd into the installation directory:
# cd ./hsinst

Step 2. Generate Configuration Files

On this step, create configuration files from H-Sphere system database.

If your H-Sphere was installed with the installer older than version 2.3, collect your current H-Sphere configuration:
# ./import
Launch the configuration wizard to enter installation data:
# ./configure
In the configuration menu, check the ID of the server you want to restore.
Check if all services on this box are properly configured.
Save the number of the server that you added a service on in the configuration menu.
Save configuration and exit with ‘-‘ or ‘s’+’q’ commands
Execute:
# make add-server-ID
where ID is the number of the server that you added the serivce on. This will regenerate install configuration, upload install scripts to this server and configure SSH keys to access it.
Login to the server where you install the new service and execute:
# cd /hsphere/install
1) If you have to re-install all services, type:
# make install
2) If you need to install a particular service, type:
# make add-service S=<SERVICE>
where <SERVICE> takes one of the following values:
dns
mail
weblite
web
mysql
psql
DNS Server
Mail Server
Webmail server
Web server
MySQL server
PostgreSQL server

Step 3. Resolve Possible Conflicts in the System

If you have a mail server and want to add a web server on the same box:
stop apache on this box by running the following command:
– Linux: /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop
– FreeBSD: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh stop
uninstall webmail apache rpm or package:
– Linux: rpm -e hsphere-apache-lite
– FreeBSD: pkg_delete `pkg_info | grep ^hsphere-apache-lite`
If you want to add a mail server and don’t have a web server, after ‘make add-service S=mail’ execute:
# make add-service S=weblite

Step 4. Run PhysicalCreator

To restore your H-Sphere physical resources, log in as the cpanel user and run PhysicalCreator.

Do not confuse the account ID with the server ID you used when generating configuration files. Account IDs could be found in the accounts table of the H-Sphere system database.

Step 5. Restore User Content

Finally, restore user content from the backup.
