Reinstall VestaCP without losing data

Is it possible to reinstall VESTACP without losing data?

There is no explanation of how to do it. I don't have web support and I don't want to lose them

Easiest way to do this is simply run the installer again on your server... it'll lead you through the installation and update everything.

Was there a particular reason you need to reinstall it?
Are you unable to update it from the web UI?

I was running into that issue... today I went to reinstall it, however during installation I noticed it was complaining it couldn't update apt-get or dpkg so I had to do that manually with the following commands

Note: I'm running Ubuntu and am unfamiliar with RHEL/CentOS's version of these commands... so you'll need to use your OS's versions.

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install

Once I did that I thought... hmmm I wonder if the WebUI will work now... and sure enough it did. So I'd try updating your pkg installers first and then rerunning the webUI updater, before trying to reinstall.4

Note: it didn't tell me what was out of date until after you enter your admin email and FQDN during installation.
