Contact the provider
i have already done that but the reply from support was "Connection refused means the SSH daemon is not running, or you have a firewall blocking the SSH daemon..." but i can connect to other vps from other providers.
Do you have some kind of FTP/Webmin installed? Any alternative methods of access?
Also, if you haven't already, have you restarted?
If you have no alternative method to solve the issue, then you're probably going to need to reinstall.
i can use the console in the client area to log in through the browser.
Some distros call it sshd instead of ssh. Connection refused means nothing is running on the port.
then try service ssh start
When you try logging in from the browser console can you ping out?
It could also be a miss configured firewall, try
service iptables stop
In the browser console window
finally resolved this by reinstalling the os
lol
Reinstalling sets everything to defaults. However, you can run into the same problem again, so perhaps finding the reason, if you have time, is better approach.
Same as giving away your diseased (not deceased) pet and buying a new one, instead of curing it. Meh
GJ, reinstall is my favorite part of SolusVM.
I think that post can be closed now
