[p4] Recovering Perforce Server

Posted on behalf of forum user 'biro'.

The ubuntu server running our perforce server was updated, now the p4d service
won't start, it says:
Perforce Server starting...  but nothing happens, I have no idea where to start
to fix this.
I assume our setup would be whatever the most basic configuration would be where
we have a dedicated machine to run the server and all clients connect to this
one ubuntu machine to get and commit.
I'll be completely honest, we struggled to get it up and running in the
first place, we're a very small outfit and our tech skills aren't
fantastic when running and configuring things from CLI so please be clear and
patient with any responses.
The server was run with a general  apt-get update upgrade dist-upgrade  where
the person didn't fully realise that this also updates the perforce
software.
Whenever I try to connect through either the p4v client or p4admin it takes
it's time to respond but then comes back with  unable to connect , as if
nothing was there in the first place.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
