Topic: [SOLVED] port 22: Connection refused (ssh)

[0Ad^]

Hi Guys,

Good day! I've replace static IP Address of my SME Server 9.0  64bit via terminal with this command & save

Code: [Select]

vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0and confirm save via

Code: [Select]

ifconfig
now I can't connect via ssh with this error:

Code: [Select]

ssh: connect to host XX.XXX.X.X port 22: Connection refused

This is clearly not the way to change IP address of your server. IP configuration must go through the console menu (either login as admin on your server, or login as root and type "console")

That command will not change the IPTables  (i.e. firewall) instructions.  You should change the Ip address using the admin console.

Thank you Daniel B. & brianr for the effort replying. Problem solved.

When you opened that file in the editor, there was a big comment block telling you not to manually change the file.

"they" were referring to CentOS, not SME server.

Seriously you need to ignore much of the generic advice re Linux when configuring SME server.
Mainly you should learn the SME db system & learn about templates & custom templates & you use these to change most of SME server config files.
There are Howtos on both.
