ssh (client): No route to host

Saturday, May 31st, 2008
ssh is driving me CRAZY right now... On an almost stock CentOS 5.1 install (inside a Xen VPS, though), I changed sshd to listen on 2222 instead of 22 and restarted sshd.

All of a sudden:
Code:

matt@t60:~$ ssh -p2222 64.191.108.xxx
ssh: connect to host 64.191.108.xxx port 2226: No route to host

I should note that I'm actively logged into that IP in another window, and that it responds to ping. There most certainly is a route. Yes, I've quadruple-checked that I have the right IP. And I use the -p2222 daily to connect to another machine. This is a virgin CentOS install; I just changed the "Port 22" line to "Port 2222" and restarted sshd (/etc/init.d/sshd restart).

I am not behind any sort of firewall, unless CentOS installs one that I don't know about. (I own the physical hardware, not just the virtual machine.)

I figured it had to do with this error in /var/log/secure

Code:

May 31 19:18:39 relay120 sshd[23359]: Server listening on :: port 2222.
May 31 19:18:39 relay120 sshd[23359]: error: Bind to port 2222 on 0.0.0.0 failed
: Address already in use.

So I changed (uncommented) the ListenAddress directive to:
Code:

ListenAddress 64.191.108.xxx
and restarted sshd again.

Still no luck... Anyone? :confused:

Edit: ssh works fine if I ssh into the server from the server's console (e.g., don't actually go out onto the network.) But where is this port 2222 block coming in? I have definitely not blocked the port, and the main host listens on 2222 with no problems... Meaning that the trouble reaching the port is happening on the server itself.

13…13…13…13

I was walking past the local mental hospital the other day,

and I could hear all the patients shouting in unison, '13...13....13...13.'

The fence was too high to see over, but I saw a little gap in the
planks...so I looked through to see what was going on.

Some idiot poked me in the eye with a stick!

Then they all started shouting. '14...14...14...14....?

Do any shared hosting plans under $20 a month offer scalable bandwith ?

Saturday, May 31st, 2008
Hi there,

I need to put up a site for a high school. I was going to go with hostgator because I've had very good experience with them... however, they have a policy of suspending accounts if they use too much cpu-- I'm concerned that if the web site gets a spike in traffic, it could cause an outage at a crucial moment (for example, after a TV news spot on the school).

We're trying to raise money to keep the school open, so I have to have a system in place that can handle the occasional spike in traffic--- those visitors are potential donors.

I've seen a few scalable hosting options, but (Basso, I think).. but they start at $100 a month. The school pays $20 a month for fuitadnet.com at the moment and I'm not satisfied with their service.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a new web host that provides a reasonable package with a flexible bandwith agreement under $20 per month ?


thanks.

Stock Predictions? what do you think?

Saturday, May 31st, 2008
Personally i think that solar energy is the potentially best stock right now. I believe more are going to get solar energy as gas prices go up.

My stock would be ESLR

We have a server down, can't access servercommand.net and their phone has been busy for the last 30 minutes. Can anyone else access either one?

Restrictions on <5 posts mind-bogglingly stupid

Saturday, May 31st, 2008
Hey all,

I'm new here, and I'm sure there's a reason for this, but the current implementation of the vB code restriction for members with less than 5 posts is terrible. I just spent 5 minutes going through a post, deleting the http:// in front of every URL I copy/pasted and breaking up text-based smileys with spaces so I could make the damn post.

This rule would be fine if it only applied to explicit use of vB code, i.e. tags with square brackets. Given that your forum automatically converts certain harmless text strings (like : p without the space or a URL with http://) into vB code, it makes no sense to then block these posts. If you can't implement this "feature" properly, don't use it at all. I'm going to continue updating my ongoing review thread, but it's not very reassuring for a forum focusing on web design to make what I can only imagine is a glaring configuration mistake with a vB hack. I was a second away from giving up, posting a rant on my other thread and deleting my account when I finally managed to get my post to work. Causing a new member's post to fail because they had the AUDACITY to use a text smiley is ridiculously poor user support, and any web dev should know that.
