Seems like a mess.

You could try running a discourse-doctor to see if it gives any idea. I have a few but without access to the server, it would take too much time from someone in my modest level to help you.

I probably would reinstall everything if I was in your shoes

**1 Backup**

```plaintext
cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
discourse backup

```

Retrieve the backup via sftp (sftp protocol, port 22, host : ip of your server, login : root, password : root password)

Make sure you have the uploads folder in the backup. If you don’t, make a local copy of the folder in your hardrive.

**2 Delete, reinstall your vps, or use another vps**

Use the discourse setup install, if everything is ok: log in, upload and restore a backup

(you can also restore the backup from command line, it’s quicker : [Restore a backup from the command line](https://meta.discourse.org/t/restore-a-backup-from-command-line/108034))

If you’re not sure about this, it’s best to wait from someone more qualified 🙌
