I think it is more important to determine what are your key apps on the server; then back them up if you think they are not compromised and rebuild the VPS server from scratch; and reinstall your app.
You should also make sure your file system is secure based on the apps that are running, and run a cryptographic file system management tool (tripwire or some other version of the same thing) immediately to get a baseline.
What you have failed to mention is the core production app that is running on the server. Is it a web server? A mail server? A database back end?
It is really not possible to help you if you are not specific about what is "core app" and what is "supporting files". The reason is that you need to rebuild your file system from scratch to be perfectly safe. However, there may be some files you need (database, web files) that are not compromised and you can just back them up, reinstall the system (the supporting file system) and then get the main act up and running.
But the exact strategy is based on what is the main core application running on the server.
Is is basically a web server?

LEARN ABOUT PHP
php_sapi_name
PHP_SAPI_NAME(3) 1 PHP_SAPI_NAME(3)
php_sapi_name - Returns the type of interface between web server and PHP
SYNOPSIS
string php_sapi_name (void )
DESCRIPTION
Returns a lowercase string that describes the type of interface (the Server API, SAPI) that PHP is using. For example, in CLI PHP this
string will be "cli" whereas with Apache it may have several different values depending on the exact SAPI used. Possible values are listed
below.
RETURN VALUES
Returns the interface type, as a lowercase string.
Although not exhaustive, the possible return values include aolserver, apache, apache2filter, apache2handler, caudium, cgi (until PHP
5.3), cgi-fcgi, cli, cli-server, continuity, embed, fpm-fcgi, isapi, litespeed, milter, nsapi, phttpd, pi3web, roxen, thttpd, tux, and web-
james.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
php_sapi_name(3) example
This example checks for the substring cgi because it may also be cgi-fcgi.
<?php
$sapi_type = php_sapi_name();
if (substr($sapi_type, 0, 3) == 'cgi') {
echo "You are using CGI PHP
";
} else {
echo "You are not using CGI PHP
";
}
?>
NOTES
Note
An alternative approach
The PHP constant PHP_SAPI has the same value as php_sapi_name(3).
Tip
A potential gotcha
The defined SAPI may not be obvious, because for example instead of apache it may be defined as apache2handler or apache2filter.
