I just set up a CentOS 4.0 instance and am now trying to access via ssh.
It returns:
ssh: connect to host linode.com port 22: Connection refused
with:
ssh member_name@linode.com
What's needed to access my VPS via ssh?
Thanks in advance |

You need to login to LPM (the linode members webpage) and look on the right side of the page for what host number you're on. It'll look something like hostXX.linode.com. After you find that info, just do:
Code: $ ssh <linode_username>@hostXX.linode.com
Alternatively, if you already have a running ssh daemon on your linode and you know the IP of your linode, you can ssh directly to that IP. |

I've been trying to shh to my IP address, only the request is timing out. For some reason I can't see it.
Its on a fresh distro install. Does it take a while for the IP to work? |

It shouldn't. Are you sure that your linode is running? If so, can you ping its IP address? |

just as an update, I logged into the Lish session and received the following message:
[danox@host55 lish] Fri Feb 24 16:03:17 EST 2006
[danox@host55 lish] Linode Shell (lish) Console starting...
[danox@host55 lish] There is no screen to be resumed matching danox.
Your Linode isn't running, or another console session is already active.
I'll keep digging around, but does anyone know how I can .... make my Linode run? |

Log into LPM (the management website). There should be a button to start your linode on the right side of the screen. |
