I have a testing server with an accounting software (installed “centos style”, not from webgui) and some testing archive in it: nothing difficult to re-install, but quite huge to copy over again… I was playing around to enable webserver, mysql, and phpmyadmin from webgui, but I couldn’t get into phpmyadmin, I thought (genius) to clean everything up from console and start over again. I cleaned too much: I remember I deleted the e-smith folder, but maybe I don’t remember something else. Now the machine and the “external” software are working perfectly, but the ns gui isn’t. Is there a way to restore it without formatting? I don’t mind loosing ibays or users because the software depends only from vsftpd using a list for the only user allowed.
Thanks.

The rpm command can help by reporting any missing file:
rpm -Va
Then you can reinstall broken packages:
yum reinstall ...

You definitely saved the day: thank you.
I did also a yum list nethserver-* and launch the reinstall command for all the installed nethserver-* packages.
I dare one more question: after doing that the rm-Va command continues listing missing files from wordpress and phpmyadmin, but even if I install and reinstall they are always there. Any hint to clean that?
Here the last log from rpm -Va:
Perhaps you need to reinstall some dependent package. To find the package name, I don’t remember if rpm -qf works for missing file, but you could try with
rpm -qf /usr/share/wordpress/wp-includes/atomlib.php
