plesk broke during upgrade and now apache overwrote httpd.conf

LIcon

New Pleskian
I have a previous thread here: http://talk.plesk.com/threads/aptitude-upgrade-broke-plesk.334297/

Last night my friend was trying to help me resolve that issue, but we ended up creating an even bigger problem. He was not previously familiar with Plesk or very experienced with Apache, but knows the command line a lot better than I do.

Long story short:

back in September
- tried to update Plesk 10 to Plesk 12 and it half-completed
- when I go to myipaddress:8443 it won't load the control panel

Last night
- when we were working on this problem apache overwrote httpd.conf and made it blank
- I did not have a backup
- can't get it to regenerate

All of my virtualhost configurations are gone and no one can reach my websites, some of which really need to be back up fast. The files and databases are still there, they're just not connected out to the world.

None of the recovery options we've found in documentation seem to be functioning on the server. If I could get Plesk running, it could fix the virtualhosts issue, but I'm not sure how to roll Plesk back to an earlier version.

I tried manually rewriting the httpd.conf file from examples on the web but all of the domains redirected to one domain's files. So I could get one site back up but none of the others. I played with it for over an hour and couldn't resolve that.

I have about 10 domains on one IP address.

It would really help to see a real plesk-generated httpd.conf file from a server with a similar configuration.
