After installing BigBlueButton 2.3-dev, I am unable to connect via SSH. Why? - ssh

I have a VPN server (on A2Hosting) with Ubuntu 18.04 installed. The server meets the minimum configuration required for BBB. I was able to connect to this server via ssh and installed BBB 2.3-dev. It installed successfully and I can access the main page in my browser. But, after install SSH is not working. When I try to connect, it says connection timeout.
ssh: connect to host 1xx.xxx.xxx.xx7 port xxx2: Connection timed out
I have tried resetting the server, reinstall operating system and bbb several times, but whenever bbb install without error, SSH stops working. I am facing this for last couple of days. Please suggest what can be the issue.

After a lot of digging, I found that the port was blocked by firewall. My hosting provider was using non-standard ssh port 7822. Unblockimg the port solved the issue.
ufw allow 7822

Connection timeout while trying to SSH

Hope I'm doing this right as this is my first StackOverflow question. I'm trying to SSH into a server, but running the ssh command results in a connection timeout (using the MobaXTerm client on Win10). I'm trying to connect on port 22, and have gone through Windows Firewall to make rules to open the port, but it's still not working. Any ideas as to why this is happening? I can provide relevant information as needed.
Thanks in advance!
That error message means the server to which you are connecting does not reply to ssh connection on port 22. I think three possible reasons for that:
The server has not installed ssh
You are running ssh with different port
The machine has a firewall that doesnot allow you to connect

Why can't I see https webpage after using sudo certbot --apache

I've just done a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04 and followed the Digital Ocean instructions to get my apache server up and running:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu-20-04
Which worked fine for HTTP traffic, then I used the Digital Ocean instructions (which I knew, but followed them anyway) to set up for SSL (https) access:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-apache-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-20-04
I selected the option to redirect all traffic to https. I opened my firewall using sudo ufw allow 'Apache Full'.
But I am unable to see my sites - the browsers just timeout. I have tried disabling ufw just to see, and nope, nothing.
SSL Labs just gives me an "Assessment failed: Unable to connect to the server" error.
I also ran https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=juglugs.com
and it timed out:
I have deleted the letsencrypt stuff and ran through it again three times with the same result, and now I'm stuck...
Everything I've searched points to a firewall error, but as I've said, I've disabled that and have the same result. The router settings have not been changed since I did my fresh Ubuntu install.
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks in advance.
on8tom answered this one for me - In setting up the new build of Ubuntu, my local IP address for the apache server had changed, and my Virgin Media Hub only had port 443 open to the old IP address.
Many thanks for pointing me at that (but I should have checked that before posting this - kicking myself!)

Enable Remote SSL on Weblogic

I've enabled SSL Listen Port from the Admin Console of Weblogic 11g Version: 10.3.6.0
I've created a self-signed cert following: https://oracle-base.com/articles/11g/weblogic-configure-ssl-for-a-managed-server
But when try https on the browser of a remote machine I get a timeout.
If I try from the local machine using: curl -Ik I get the proper response, it seems that only remote access is disabled.
Accessing via http works fine from my remote machine browser. I did also try telnet but it only works with 7001 but not with 7002 (my secure port). I've already tried changing the secure port number but the result is the same.
My Weblogic server is on a Centos running on VMware ESXi.
What could be blocking the remote SSL connection?
A timeout indicates a firewalling of some sort. As you say yourself if you try locally with curl it works. There is nothing else to check if locally you can but remotely you get a timeout.

Notepad++ NppFTP [SFTP] Connection failed : Error reading socket

Does anyone know why I am unable to connect to my server using the Notepad++ NppFTP plugin with SFTP?
I have a CentOS 6.4 server with SSH on port 22.
When I try and connect using NppFTP I get the following output:
[NppFTP] Everything initialized
Connecting
[SFTP] Connection failed : Error reading socket
Unable to connect
Disconnected
This used to work when I had my SSH port set to 3264 but when I changed the SSH port back to 22 NppFTP stopped working. All the settings for the profile are correct including the right IP, username, password and port (22).
I can connect with SFTP using FileZilla and WinSCP successfully with these same SFTP details and I can connect with SSH using PuTTY.
I can connect with SFTP to other servers using NppFTP so I believe there is an issue in my server config I'm just not sure where or what.
I looked at the access logs but found no attempt at a connection from NppFTP, I turned the firewall off and still nothing.
In the end I got in touch with my server company and it turns out it was a problem on their end. This is what they had to say:
"This was caused by an IPS rule inspecting the network packets coming into the infrastructure, which helps identify brute force attacks."
Very strange, but after they made the change NppFTP can now connect successfully.

How can i access the vps server

Have a VPS and access to WHM as cpanel.But how can i access the php.ini and also connect using SSH.With SSH getting error
Failed to connect to server:
Network error: Connection refused.
If there is a proxy that is blocking it?
This question is probably better asked at serverfault. Having said that, by default in common Linux distributions (Ubuntu, for example), SSHD is not running by default.
Verify that you are running an SSH server, and if you are still having issues, this is better taken somewhere more relevant.
