Hello Bruce

All you need is a terminal/shell

ssh validusername@ipaddress

then type

vgdisplay

which is under

man lvm

Another route: From centos dvd select rescue and follow instructions

https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/ap-rescuemode.html#Rescue_Mode-x86

Check file privileges on drupal. I've head some funny stories from some
severs running wordpress (to do with lack of privileges around upload
folder not wordpress)

what do your logs say in
 /var/log/
what does

dmesg


All the best Paul
