Hi guys,
Been having problems all day, with sites all going down.
I am using PUTTY on Windows to access the server.
To update: I use sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Seems to work.
Could someone tell me what’s next?
I think I need to reboot the server or apache but it keeps not working.
Putty keeps dumping me out and/or the sites are still down.

After doing an upgrade that installs a new kernel version a reboot is required for the new kernel to be loaded. You can do this from PuTTY with sudo reboot
. It is expected that this will kick you out of PuTTY since there will not be a server on the other end of the connection during the reboot.
Once rebooted, if your sites are not up you can try manually starting Apache with:
sudo service apache2 start
If the service fails to start, check the Apache error log file in /var/log/apache2/error.log
where details of any errors encountered when trying to start the service will be recorded.
