I installed Python 2.7 on CentOS in a different location, but I didn't change the PYTHON_PATH to newly installed Python. Since then, I am not able to access the system via cPanel or SSH (to revert back the PYTHON_PATH). I'm also not able to access any of the hosted sites in a web browser. It keeps on looking for host. However, the site is still pingable from cmd with 0% packet loss.

Could changing PYTHON_PATH have caused this? How can I get access to the server now? :(

  • How exactly did you install the new version? From a .rpm? Through Yum with an alternate repo? Or you compiled it? If you compiled it, which configure options did you use exactly?

If I understand correctly, you installed Python 2.7 into an alternate location (such as /opt) but not update any system-wide references to PYTHON_PATH. If you left the system Python 2.4 installed in it's default location, this could not have caused the issues you are describing.

I also gather that this is a VPS. Does your provider off any out-of-band access to the VM itself? For example, with Linode they offer the Lish service.

The fact that the VM is pingable may not mean that it's running, depending on the network architecture. Is the public IP address assigned directly to eth0 (or whatever the primary device is)?
