Centos 7 - Can't ping or ssh

Post by kironet » 2018/04/19 14:53:45

Hi,

today at 3AM(CEST) my VPS went down(problem on OVH's side), they moved my VPS to another host or something. Problem is, that after server went down a can no longer access(ssh or ping) my server(only in rescue mode). They are saying that if server is accessible in rescue mode, it's problem in OS configuration.

Since I can't even ping the server, problem must be in networking? I compared rescue mode resolv.conf and hosts with normal mode and they are the same -_-

Can somebody help me to solve this?

Thanks

It could be that the NIC got a new MAC address, and that you have to update the network script in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
Run ifconfig and compare to the script.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Which script do you mean?

Here is ipconfig in rescue mode:

Code: Select all

root@rescue-pro:~# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr fa:16:3e:81:81:1b  
          inet addr:54.**.**.1  Bcast:54.**.**.**1  Mask:255.255.255.255
          inet6 addr: fe80::.../64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:18163 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:12325 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 
          RX bytes:9908 (9.6 KiB)  TX bytes:9908 (9.6 KiB)


Here is output of ifcfg-eth0

Code: Select all

BOOTPROTO=dhcp

Here is output of ifcfg-eth0:1

Unless you're in rescue mode right at the moment, your server is responding to ssh already.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Yes, my server is not responding to ssh in normal mode.
I can't even ping to that server in normal mode.

I can do whatever I want in rescue, but when I switch to normal, server is dead. :(

Check it right now, I switched to normal mode.

Hope I didn't confuse you.

When I'm in rescue mode I can: ssh, ping
When I'm in normal mode I can: nothing(can't ssh, can't ping)

Do you have console access to it? Is it booting at all?
