SSH not working

Hi,

After 2 days of installing cwp , I today tried to log into ssh, it connected, asked username and then password, but as soon as I enter password, putty closes. Why this is happening ?

Thanks.

Hi,

I enabled putty log and got this:

---
=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= PuTTY log 2017.05.05 22:06:29 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=
login as: root
root@12.123.123.123's password:
Last login: Fri May  5 22:04:53 2017 from 123.456.789.012

/bin/bash: Permission denied
---

What is causing this ? Its happening when I enter correct login.

I am able to login via browser fine.

Please help.

Thanks.

looks strange...try to check with your hosting company server admin or our support also check logs in /var/log/

Hi,

Contacted the server admin and they say they have to re-format the hdd and nothing more can be done.

I am not sure but is it possible that I may have deleted / disabled shell access for root via CWP > Security > Shell Access ?? Coz i did'nt had any account and I may have disabled it for root, is that possible when CWP is freshly installed ??

Thanks.

if this is a clean server without any data then the best option would be to reinstall it.
If you have some data try to backup it via ftp or console inside cwp.

If you want to investigate this issue then you would need to get our managed support to investigate it more deeply and try to recover the server.
However, if you don't have any data there then go with the reinstall as that is the best and cheapest option if you don't know what you have deleted.

Hi,

I have done a re-install.

How do I setup quota ?

Thanks.
