Help! Suddenly not able to connect to droplet via SSH. This after editing ssh_config to add a Host * and ServerAliveInterval 120 to keep node and java running. Now I get these: macMini:~ macuser$ ssh -vvv root@x.243.212.x OpenSSH6.9p1, LibreSSL 2.1.8 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/sshconfig debug1: /etc/ssh/sshconfig line 20: Applying options for * debug1: /etc/ssh/sshconfig line 102: Applying options for * debug2: sshconnect: needpriv 0 debug1: Connecting to x.243.212.x [x.243.212.x] port 22. debug1: connect to address x.243.212.x port 22: Connection refused ssh: connect to host x.243.212.x port 22: Connection refused* I tried dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server - didn’t work. DB port 3306 still works

Login via your DO control panel, edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and remove the parameter “ServerAliveInterval 120”, save and then restart the server:
systemctl restart sshd
or
service sshd restart
Good luck.
