I cannot connect (ping or ssh) to the server.

Posted on September 9, 2020

I was following this tutorial here to create a LAMP Stack: how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu-20-04 I am hosting the files on a Azure VM.

This is the SSH output shown: OpenSSH_7.6p1 Ubuntu-4ubuntu0.3, OpenSSL 1.0.2n 7 Dec 2017 debug2: resolving “52.255.205.250” port 22 debug2: ssh_connect_direct: needpriv 0 debug1: Connecting to 52.255.205.250 [52.255.205.250] port 22. debug1: connect to address 52.255.205.250 port 22: Resource temporarily unavailable

Does anyone have a clue on what could be the issue?

Hello,

The SSH service, like any service, requires system resources to operate. This means that when your Droplet is under resource-constrained conditions, the service may fail to open a working shell environment. These conditions include exhausting the system memory, reaching the system’s open file limit, or crashing the runtime environment.

Request you to refer to below link for more inputs:
