I'm having this type of partitioning where sda2 is SWAP.

So I wish to remove swap and resize the sda5

I have followed many guides(used search) here and also over some other website, but no luck, if i remove both of the partitions and create new one, the server is not loaded up back and i need to reinstall it fully.

Can't use gparted as I get an error(I'm not VPS and cant run GUI).

Seems my case is specific, so how should i proceed?

First: "I get an error" –– would you tell us the error message?

Second: It seems that you use the Master Boot Record based partioning scheme and sda5 is a logical partition, but sda2 is a primary partition. So you have to resize the extended partition where sda5 is located. This is only possible when / is not mounted, which means that you have to use a Live System like GRML, where you can use gparted anyway.
