I have a server that was running Ubuntu 8.04. I upgraded Ubuntu via the command-line and got no warning messages. After it was done the server restarted but now I am unable to SSH back in. My site is also not resolving.

My guess is I overwrote something important.

What are some trouble-shooting steps I can take? I am able to execute commands through my VPS provider's admin interface.

I'm not sure what version it upgraded me to honestly.
