I am stared using DigitalOcean a month ago. My site was running fine and an hour ago I decided to back up my DB using PHPMyAdmin but unfortunately, I entered the wrong password a few times. And It started showing HTTP ERROR 500. So, now the site is down. So, later on, I use the Power cycle from DO.
Now, I can access the console but the site is still down. Can anybody assist me? Earlier I had set up LEMP Server. Thanks

Hi @nepalourname,
There are a few possibilities, I’ll try and lay them down.
Services are down
It’s good to be able to enter into your droplet. Ssh to it
ssh root@YourDropletIp
Once you are in check if your services are down like this
service nginx status
This will show you if Nginx is loading or not. If it says failed, just type in
service nginx restart
This will try to restart the service for you. The same can be applied for MySQL as well.
Now, if it fails to load, there will be a reason behind it. Typing in
service nginx status
should show you the reason however if it doesn’t, the journal should help you out
journalctl -xe
Try the above and let me know how it goes. If it goes well, then great,if it doesn’t let me know what’s going on and I’ll further assist you.
Regards, KDSys
