My apologies but I have already reverted back to the snapshot. It seemed that my setup in /sites-enabled/ was only setup with a default file that wasn't my original file after the upgrade. The reference to my ruby path was also incorrect. And I had to modify some permissions to log folders and such as redis-server couldn't start because it couldn't access some folders and files. I can't remember the other ones as an example, but I'm going to clone the server and try again while going ahead and backing up the config files I'm aware of... see if I could get further along this time. I think I just need to backup my nginx.conf, and sites-enabled folder. That should be enough to get me back up and going. I do like the idea of creating the new server and just getting up and going that way, but not sure my team mate in charge of the servers feels the same way *shrug*. So I will try the upgrade again first.
