Which was why I was trying to tell you to quit wasting time looking
for shortcuts and consolation and re-install. Start with new hardware
if you can possibly afford it, to be safe and to save time.
Now it looks like your server needs to be off-line for a while until
you get back.
Also, once you're back up, you need a second, someone who can at least
pull the plug while you're out, preferably someone who can also help
you review your system design and implementation. Patience, and
willingness to listen while you ramble, can be more important than
technical expertise.

How much, and what,
are you willing to pay for your freedom?
