Phoenix Network Forums

Hi there,

I am having a bit of difficulties since yesterday, namely not being able to connect to users.phoenix-network.org via SSH with putty.

This is the first time I am having these problems. My account is definitely active since my eggdrop is still online/alive. And it doesnt seem to be a username/password problem either. The connection is refused when I try to connect...

I can't figure out why this is, and one other person I know has a shell here isn't able to connect either.
Any help with this is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Something else: I really love you guys for providing such a GREAT service for free! (Had to be said)

If it wasn't working before it should be fine now.

Thanks.

Yep it does - Thanks a lot Tim.
Thanks especially for the really quick answer/solution.

Well, the issue seems still going on

Even some users from chat are having problems.

Notice: I'm not complaining or something just noticing to Tim

Bye

Any clue about why this happens?

Is it a recent problem?

[18:06:08] <P4> admin: do you konw why the sshd downs happens?
[18:15:46] <@swift'RomMaster> memory issues?

may we have few words from admin describing the problem and if the solution is coming up soon or not.

It crashes for some reason which leads to the thought that it is either being overloaded or exploited. It also cannot automatically be brought back up as when it does crash it doesn't disconnect currently online users which has the negative of convincing automation software that it is in fact online.

We lose this server in a few days unless someone donates a lot of money so when that happens it definitely won't be an issue any longer.

Two days ago I didn't succeed either when trying to login (username: hafner). Then I've read the announcement "Services - Webhosting now available 03 April 2007" on the homepage and concluded that it might be a good idea to create a new account. The result was for a short time, that I'd two working shell accounts (old login: hafner, new one: hafn), even if one of them had been enough (I'd prefer the old one: hafner). Today none of them is accessable:

Code: Select all

debug1: Connecting to users.phoenix-network.org [208.98.27.3] port 22.
debug1: connect to address 208.98.27.3 port 22: Connection refused
ssh: connect to host users.phoenix-network.org port 22: Connection refused

Sorry to hear that. Would then be another server ready to provide shell accounts? Or does the end of users.phoenix-network.org automatically mean the end of shell accounts?
