SSHD down and I can not access server
| Posted by zohair28, 04-13-2012, 01:21 PM |
| Hi All,
During fixing /home file permissions. The /etc file permission changed and now SSHD is down. cPanel/WHM is working fine but I can not access server via SSH. I tried to reinstall SSH via cPanel/WHM RPM manager but I can not.
Is there any solution via WHM to restore /etc file permission for SSH. I tried to restart SSH and update cPanel via WHM but it is still down.
Any ideas how o solve this ???
Regards

| I take it you were running a resursive find+chmod command and ran it over / instead of /home?
Best thing to do is reboot into a rescueCD and correct all of your permissions, cant really do anything from WHM unless you have Configserver Explorer installed as you can change permissions with that.

| Does your provider offer KVM or IPMI access? You can always try accessing the server that way (direct to the console) and use that as a starting point to determine why sshd is failing.

| Is this a VPS or Dedicated Server. If this is a VPS, you can try dropping a console

| It is dedicated server. I will check for KVM for it.
