This document explains how to recover a web server using a built-in webhosting resource generator utility.

1. Log into the control panel as root.
2. Back up the content of the ~cpanel/shiva/psoft/ directory.
3. Upload archive:
   wget http://psoft.net/shiv/HSUpdate-23/CREATOR.tgz
4. Unpack archive:
   tar xfz CREATOR.tgz
5. Change dir to where you have unpacked the archive:
   cd CREATOR
6. Type 'make install'.
7. If necessary, back up all user content as suggested here.
8. Log into the control panel server as cpanel user:
   su -
   su -cpanel
9. Run the recovery tool:
   java psoft.hsphere.tools.PhysicalCreator OPTIONS
   where OPTIONS:
   

   -h|--help - shows the list of available options
   -rg|--rgroup - resource group to perform operations on
     The following resource groups are allowed:
     unixweb - Unix virtual hosting resources
     winweb - Windows virtual hosting resources
     mysql - MySQL resources
   -co|--create-only - performs creation resources routines only
   -do|--delete-only - performs delete resources routines only
   -rc|--recreate - performs both delete and creation resources routines
   -lid|--lserverId - process accounts on logical server with given number
   

   For example, the entire command may look as follows:
   

   bash-2.05a$ java psoft.hsphere.tools.PhysicalCreator -rg unixweb -co -lid 26
   

   In this case the java will create:
   - all home dirs with the default H-Sphere content
   - configuration of FTP and HTTP virtual hosts on unix logical server with ID 26
   This tool will only create/recreate the default content.
10. Restore the backup of the ~cpanel/shiva/psoft/ directory.
11. Restart H-Sphere.
12. If it was the case in step 3, copy user content back from the archive.
13. (for Windows) Download the setscrt.exe utility from http://psoft.net/shiv/WinBox/SetScrt.exe and run it to set correct NTFS permissions on user home directories:
    setscrt.exe -ntfs -owner> setscrt.log
    Logs will allow you to see if the tool was run correctly.
