My (a couple weeks old) Ubuntu 10.04 server locked up, no ssh or VPN access but could ping it. I contacted support and was told to destroy the droplet and create a new one. Still have no idea why it happened or how to avoid it on my production server.
- sdogruyol 13y agoYeah that makes you feel really insecure.
- yardie 13y agoI had the same problem. I was messing with my iptables and messed something up to the point where there was no network. I contacted support and they installed a Ubuntu Live image. (Something that has to be requested) I used the Live image of my droplet to mount the disk, copy the databases, and websites. Once I was satisfied I got everything I destroyed the droplet. Before you destroy your droplet, request this!
- _JamesA_ 13y agoDO doesn't have a console access utility like Linode's [Lish]? [Lish]: (https://library.linode.com/using-lish-the-linode-shell https://library.linode.com/using-lish-the-linode-shell)?
- yardie 13y agoyes it does. It uses the HTML5 web threads. In fact, there is a big button in the droplet settings called Console.
- poxrud 13y agoYes they do, but it wasn't working and would time out.
- yardie 13y agoTry a different browser. I've used Chrome Mac, Firefox Win, Firefox Mac, Safari. I just logged in using Safari (mac) 6.0.5 and found it working while 6.0.4 did not.
