Moving the source folder to / will not crash your server...
Also when typing ls, did you accidentally type cd ls?
Try rebooting the machine...

I advice you to reconsider your linguistic moves in the future.

You must have done something more to accomplish this. Simply extracting the Teeworlds source usually doesn't 'crash' your server.

This forum is not primarily intended to be used for general support, but Teeworlds support. However, if you give people the information they ask you for (within sane limits) and cooperate when they try to help, without going umadbro, this topic could stay.

Are you absolutely sure you didn't do anything else? Does your SSH client log everything you type?

Which reminds me... I haven't set up an automated backup for the new teeworlds server hmm

Edit: done smile
I use dirvish btw, you should try too, does incremental backups with rsync.

Re: I am too stupid to properly unpack teeworlds and killed my root server

narf.. just reinstalled the root, setting up everythign (again -_-).
and.. yes i simply did this:

cd /home
mkdir teeworlds
cd teeworlds
wget <teeworldssource>
tar xfvz <teeworldssource>
ls
mv <teeworldssource>/* /


at mv was the fail.
wanted to do ../ to move it into parent directory (../ is correct, eh? dont know, now i use the FULL PATH everytime LOL!).

Yes ../ is right to move it one directory up.
./ is the current directory.
/ is the system directory with all of its system folders.

Seriously, that's what you get for doing that as root. Create an account named "teeworlds" or "games" and install teworlds there, but NOT AS ROOT.

Because it lowers the chance of trashing the server or doing other bad things.

Re: I am too stupid to properly unpack teeworlds and killed my root server

It's a general rule on linux to avoid doing anything as root. Doing it as a normal user is always safer, as you don't have the rights to do anything dangerous, which might hurt the system. Also it's more safe in terms of security to the outside: If there is an exploit for a server application (e.g. the teeworlds server) and a hacker uses that exploit, he might be able to execute any code on your server, but just with the rights of the user that started the server. That means, if you start the server application as root, he can do whatever he wants on your server, if you start it with another user, his options are way more limited, so your system is a lot more secure.

If you used really twsource/* then this would just spam your / directory with content of the TW folder (it would not move the folder but content below, which sucks but is more a cosmetic problem then a functional). That should not crash your machine but is similar ugly as extracting content of tw-source without parent-folder (means many standalone files) directly into C: on windows - On linux this would only be a problem if TW contains some /lib or /bin folder and replaces for example libc (which is not the case). So I'm pretty sure you did something different.  Maybe "mv / teeworldssource/* /" or something like that? Because it sounds for me that you've removed your libc to somewhere else where your OS did not find it in the path anymore, which effects your hole system (even ssh and so on) immediately and should create some failure as you described here.
