Ping works , but unable to do ssh
- by gpuguy
I disabled the firewall with sudo ufw disable, I can ping the server, the server can ping me but I can't ssh to it:
root@ubuntu:/home/acme# ssh 192.168.1.6 ssh: connect to host
192.168.1.6 port 22: Connection refused
I removed ssh and reinstalled :
sudo apt-get remove openssh-client openssh-server
sudo apt-get install openssh-client openssh-server
But still ssh is not working and I get the error
connection refused
How do I tackle this issue?
Here are some other stuff I have tried so far:
root@ubuntu:/home/acme# sudo service ssh start
start: Job is already running: ssh
root@ubuntu:/home/acme# ps aux | grep ssh
acme 6548 0.0 0.0 12576 320 ? Ss 04:09 0:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session --session=ubuntu
root 22219 0.0 0.1 50040 2852 ? Ss 05:10 0:00 /usr/sbin/sshd -D
root 22277 0.0 0.0 8116 896 pts/0 S+ 05:17 0:00 grep --color=auto ssh
Update for future visitors
removing and reinstalling ssh on the server worked for me :
sudo apt-get remove openssh-client openssh-server
sudo apt-get install openssh-client openssh-server
