directories in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig renamed?

Hello,

Today I logged into my server as normal to run a few commands, and I discovered that the directories that reside within /home/admispconfig/ispconfig have been renamed to impossible names. The only two files in there are named "n" and "tempý?w?l". The interesting part is that neither one of them can be renamed (I'm assuming because of the question marks), and the file(directory?) "n" cannot be cat'ed either.

The first thing that entered my mind was perhaps the server was hacked, but after checking through the logs and running chkrootkit which I compiled myself right before I used, I am still clueless. Everything else appears to be in order as well.

The system is running Debian Sarge 3.1 and has ISPConfig 2.2.11 installed.

Any help would be appreciated.

All the log files look normal and are from the address of my router. The only thing I can think of is that directory is where some of the webmail componets were stored, which I used frequently up to a couple of days ago when I began to use kmail. Still though, I have no idea how that happened. Fortunately I have backups of everything important, so if a reinstall is needed it won't be too bad, I'll only lose some stats.

I'm glad you said that . As I was sitting in class the same thing dawned on me and I raced home to ask, but it was allready answered. Everything else runs fine on the server, and appears to be unaltered. Like I said, I am running 2.2.11 allready. So my question now becomes, would the installer let me do that since it detects the version and performs an automatic update?

Thanks for your help and timely replies

Hmm, when I tried, it took an unusually long amount of time, and I received a few error messages I never had before. Here are the errors:

Getting closer to a fix.

EDIT:

I remembered reading about this problem when others had it, so I searched the forum and found this thread:
http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10762&highlight=PHP+binary . I read it and checked my gcc version, as I am also using an x86 32bit processor. My gcc version is "gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13)".

EDIT 2:

I thought I might try again and install it, but now when I try it seems that it would like me to perform an installation as my /root/ispconfig directory was removed .

 

Your problem is a read-only /home file system.

You may have had an unexpected shutdown and have not run 'fsck' yet.

Most of the times a reboot will help. This will automatically do an fsck. Check afterwards with

Code:

mount

is /home is mounted as read/write. Normally only cdrom filesystems are read-only.

 

I checked into that allready, but the permissions on the directory are:

drwxr-xr-x 4 admispconfig admispconfig 4096 2006-08-31 13:22 admispconfig

and all of the other files and directories inside have the same (or looser) permissions. "mount" returns the following line concerning my /home :

/dev/hdb2 on /home type ext3 (rw,usrquota,grpquota)

The machine has also been up for quite sometime,

11:16:05 up 35 days, 18:35, 1 user, load average: 1.04, 1.02, 1.00

Have you executed the install / update as root?

 

Well, I thought I'd post an update on my situation. I was able to get everything back up and running from a full system backup I made a few days prior to this.

Thanks for the help guys!
