so here's the article in question. Cannot install php5-fpm, Error: No Installation Candidate

well, I'm using a ubuntu server VPS and accidentally did a chmod on my entire system files, on the root account. not knowing what to do, I googled the solution, but when I restarted the device the device wouldn't boot up again. I can still see that the device is on when I boot since I connected a program called JFrog to it. so I can still execute commands from it. besides that my provider has a recovery mode but it doesn't really let me do anything.

so does anyone have any idea on how to fix this?

    The only way to get a running system is to restore a backup you made from the vps console. I would assume anytime you change your system files you make a backup since that is the only you get a system back when you mess up your ssh connection. So restore that. Otherwise you will need to make a new setup. If so please check if your vps allows for automatic backup of your containers. – Rinzwind Apr 17 '22 at 21:39
  • ... unless you have the time to fix that chmod command you did by checking every file manually. Please always include the actual command you used. A chmod -r is far worse than a chmod without the r :) – Rinzwind Apr 17 '22 at 21:40
  • First off my host doesn't allow backups. and I did a chmod -r – Pikachubolk Apr 18 '22 at 09:01
