restart linux web server using ssh

Question

  ~# shutdown -h now

how can i restart the server again. i am trying out different things but they are not helping. How to restart using ssh.

Solution 1

You have powered off the machine, you can't restart it from SSH. unless it supports Wake from Lan.

If you want to only restart your web server use

apachectl restart

Solution 2

reboot

or if you want to restart just apache then

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

and if you want to shutdown then instead of shutdown -h now you can simply use poweroff

Solution 3

You have shut down your server. Unless server supports wake from lan option, you can no longer turn it on remotely.

To restart server, use reboot command through ssh.

Solution 4

Sorry I can't advise how to remotely turn on the server. But if you are asking how to reboot it next time, use "shutdown -r now"

How do you know it's Apache and not Nginx or something else?
