I have taken a centos dedicated server of linux.
I tried to install one game panel to it. Somehow it did not go though well and i m in some real problem.
When i try to use the command Yum it says
-bash: yum: command not found
It was working fine earlier.
Somebody has told me i need to go for complete os reinstall. But for that i have to pay 100 dollars to data center as its chargable.
it is hard to say from here. Maybe your path is not ok, maybe yum is lost somehow, maybe you can simply restore it (if you can boot and log in and in general the host is working properly).

Yes i can login into putty as root
But when i try to do yum install anything or try to start any service as well
i get error message
[root@HYD1008 ~]# service iptables status
/sbin/service: line 3: /etc/init.d/functions: No such file or directory
I have another centos 5.7 server locally i moved init.d folder now everything is workign except for rpm and yum.
Kindly suggest what all files needs to be moved from other server to make it work?
Distribution: RHEL, CentOS, Debian, Oracle Solaris 10

Rep:
Have you tried /usr/bin/yum instead of just yum?
It could be possible that /usr/bin has been removed from the path.
You can check by typing echo $PATH
Or it could also be that yum package accidentally removed.
Check if the yum packages is installed or not.

[root@HYD1008 /]# cd usr
[root@HYD1008 usr]# cd bin
[root@HYD1008 bin]# cd yum
-bash: cd: yum: No such file or directory
[root@HYD1008 bin]# yum
-bash: yum: command not found
[root@HYD1008 bin]# echo $path
[root@HYD1008 bin]# which yum
/usr/bin/which: no yum in (/opt/mono-1.9/bin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)
[root@HYD1008 bin]#
Are you able to install all these packages using rpm -ivh <package-name> command? I think not because as you told that rpm package is also not installed on your machine, am I right?
