Can you open the website installed on server in browser from your system?
Yes I can open the website from my browser without any problems at all, is that a good sign?

It is not a serious problem, do not panic.
May be I am not able to sort it out but do not worry, changing port is not a big damage, it will be resolved. If I will not be able to resolve it, an expert will resolve here.
Are you able to connect to any other system of your network using ssh?

He didn't confirm it was down, he confirmed he didn't set it up and doesn't manage it. He also stated he was on a secure network which means...
it's probably the firewall.
Ask your sys admin to take a look at it.

Thank you so such, I've been so worried about this - I didn't sleep last night!

We have two internal sites, a live one and a dev one. I can connect to the dev site using ssh -i keyname.pem ubuntu@dev_host as well as ./deploy.sh devsite I thought I'd changed the ports on the dev server as well but I didn't restart that so am still able to connect

Sorry to be awkward but there is no systems admin. It's just me and google trying to do this. The site doesn't have an SSL so can be viewed at http but uses Google login to keep it secure

You probably just need to open the port. Ask the hosting company how to do that, or perhaps they will do that for you.

It's an AWS EC2 hosted site so I'd have top open the ports myself

If nmap is installed on the server, you can list the opened port of the server.

nmap ip-of-the-server

nmap 10.32.0.51

It is nmap not mmap.
Install it and find if port is opened or not.

Sorry that was my computer auto correcting, the error is -bash: mmap 12.34.5.678

How do I install it? Sorry I don't mean to ask dumb questions but I really don't know

Do not paste your IP, it is dangerous.

if server is ubuntu or debian based, run command
sudo apt-get install nmap

if it is RHEL/ CentOS/ fedora, run command
sudo yum install nmap

Thanks, I hadn't realised I'd put the IP address, I've removed it now.

I've just tried to install it and got this: sudo: apt-get: command not found

I have checked your IP, it is showing port 22 is closed and port 80 is opened.
You need to restart the ssh service and try to make it work on port 22, when it will work on 22, change the port number and restart ssh again.

I try to restart it using sudo service ssh restart It then asks for the password, I enter it then I get this error: sudo: service: command not found

I'm sorry I'm sure I'm being a pain but I'm just so desperate to get this sorted
