Asked by crowdtod
I did few steps for the gunicorn and nginx. Everything was fine, but, then i again tried to login into vps by ssh then i get following errors.
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
Now, i can’t login into digitalocean vpn to change /etc/hosts.deny
Further, i tried from the browser based terminal access then its wired that i can’t type “/” as my keyboard is not in english format.
Help is appreciated!

Log in to your droplet via the console and run these commands: <br> <br><pre>ssh-keygen -t dsa -N “” -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key <br>ssh-keygen -t rsa -N “” -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key <br>ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -N “” -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key</pre> <br>if that doesn’t work (i.e. you still can’t type /), try running this command instead: <br> <br><pre>dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server</pre>
