LAMP Joomla Hacked Reinstall
Hello,
My dev Joomla server has been hacked and now Turnkey 10.04 LAMP wont boot it hangs at initramfs prompt. I thought I was covered as had virtualbox snapshot but somehow thats got corrupted too. Can a kind person out there advise how to reinstall Tunrkey LAMP from the Iso but without losing the existing data in var/www/. Dont mind losing mysql etc but I have recent Joomla backups in the partition.
Thanks
Paul
