In the previous lessons of System Engineering, you have learned how to startup working with VPS or Dedicated Server. Now sometimes it happens with the newbies that they mess up with config on their server and in that case when no return is possible or you don’t know the solution you can just rebuild your server to give yourself a fresh start.
For reverting to a clean setup on your Linux Server, you can rebuild it which is also called reprovisioning. This reprovisioning process is done to return your server to a newly purchased state.
Reprovisioning erases all problematic code and content on your server’s hard drive, including all backups, files, everything and this cannot be undone.
To start, simply login to your SANGKRIT.net account and follow these steps:
- Visit your My Products page
- Click Servers
- Next to your server, click Manage
- On the upper-right corner, click Server Actions
- Select Rebuild Server
Now, follow the prompts on the rebuild your server screen, and then re-set-up your server by following these steps:
- Next to your server, click Manage
- Enter a name for your server in the Server name field
- Select an OS and data center location (if available) and then click Next
- Complete the fields for making a username and password
- Click Finish
It takes sometimes and your server is rebuilt, configured, and restarted and then you may log in to your server and do whatever you like doing.
