After Reboot WHM Linode Server is down | Fixed

If your WHM Linode server is down after a reboot, our experts have your back.

According to our Support team, this behavior could be due to different reasons as seen here:

• After a reboot, critical services required for the server’s operation may not start automatically. This will make the server to appear as if it’s down.

  Fortunately, we can fix this by checking the system logs and service status to identify which services are not starting. Then, we have to manually start the services or configure them to start automatically on boot.
• Sometimes, incorrect configurations or changes made before the reboot lead to server instability or service failures.

  Our experts recommend reviewing the configuration files for WHM, Apache, MySQL, and other critical services to avoid the error. If necessary, we can revert any recent changes or apply the correct settings.
• In some cases, the server may be facing resource limitations or bottlenecks that prevent it from starting correctly.

  Then, we can check the server’s resource utilization after the reboot. If this is the reason behind the error, we can resize or optimize our Linode as per our server’s needs.
• If the server recently had a kernel or operating system update during the reboot, it likely caused the error.

  In this case, we have to check the system logs and review the update process to identify errors related to the kernel or OS update. If needed, we may have to roll back the update or apply patches.
• Furthermore, disk data corruption that occurred during the reboot may lead to a failed startup.

  Then, we have to access the Linode’s console and check the boot process for any error messages. In case of corruption, we have to restore from a backup or using tools to repair the disk.
• Network-related issues can also prevent the server from connecting to the internet or local network.

  Then, verify the server’s network settings and make sure it has proper connectivity to the internet and local network.
• Additionally, firewalls or intrusion prevention systems may block necessary connections.
  So, we have to make sure that the required ports are open and that the server is not being blocked.
