Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : SSH error

[srinidhi95]

Hi,

I tried to change my SSH port. I edited the following file
/etc/ssh/sshd_config

Uncommented and changed the line
#port 22 to port 6393

Saved the file. Restarted SSH, But SSH is not starting. It is showing as sshd has failed, please contact the sysadmin.

Any solution???

SSHd is running but it is failed. Here is the complete one.

sshd (/usr/sbin/sshd) running as root with PID 31442

sshd has failed, please contact the sysadmin.

I think I have locked out myself.

If its a WHM server, log into your WHM and call this URL on your browser:

http://server.hostname.com:2086/scri...safesshrestart

Ofcourse, replace 'server.hostname.com' with your server IP or hostname.

Yes, It is a WHM server. I tried this. This is showning a white page. After I tried to connect to SSH, But it also fails.(Connection Time out). I tried restarting from restart services, it also failed.

Restart the server from WHM or your remote reboot panel
