Restoring backup files from a USB drive to the /var/www/ location

[nerdtron]

My old server was 12.04 and when I went to up grade it to 14.04 it messed it up.

Note that /var/www/ on apache2 of 12.04 is not /var/www/html/ on apache2 of 14.04. So I guess you need to work out first this problem to let your website show up (even on your local network).

Now on the ssh and ftp issue. Since you can ssh to the server (using your local network) then ssh-server is running. If you want to ssh from the outside internet, we have to troubleshoot your firewall settings first, on your server and on your network devices.

What is the output of "sudo netstat -tulpn" on the ubuntu 14.04 server? Did you modify any iptables settings? What is output of "sudo ufw status"?
On your network, did you make any changes that restricted access to ssh port 22?

On a computer using the outside internet, try this on the command line and let's see the output. This will give us some more ideas on what is happening between your computer and the server.

ssh -vvv irv@205.243.122.13

I didn't modify any iptables settings.

I am not sure about restricted access to ssh on port 22. I don't have it set in my port setting on my router.

Sorry the above was tried from my lan not over the Internet.
I will be on the road later today and I will give it a try then and repost it.

EDIT: Okay, I ran the command again to ssh to my server over the Internet and got the same message.
I am having other issues not http-ing to website and not able to FTP to domain name. I believe the problem is with the host name i check with the hosting server to make sure the hostname was pointing to the ip address 205.243.122.13 and it was. I am thinking it has something to do with one of my config files on my server but I am not sure which one and where. Before my old server when down everything was working so I know the problem is not on my router either. When I get back home I will check line 19 in the /etc/ssh/ssh_config file to see if that is where the problem is.

Note that /var/www/ on apache2 of 12.04 is not /var/www/html/ on apache2 of 14.04. So I guess you need to work out first this problem to let your website show up (even on your local network).

I forgot to say, that the apache test page did show up when I went to the URL "wabasha-server.net" but I deleted the directory "html" because I didn't want a webpage. On my old server I just wanted the list of files and directories. most were audio file and I could just select them and play them in a browser. But for some reason they do not show up even if I type them in.

I have been moving around today so I tried this command again:

Output from "ssh -vvv ssh irv@205.243.122.13"

This time I got this:

Sorry it was a typo on my part. It should be:

ssh -vvv irv@205.243.122.13

Alright, from your router port forwarding, there is no entry there for port 22. You should setup port 22 on the router to forward to the server. Then try again.
Testing to see if port 22 is open. Try this from the outside network

 telnet 205.243.122.13 22

Then try ssh again:

ssh -vvv irv@205.243.122.13

[irv]

I am still home but I did the ssh -vvv irv@205.243.122.13 to see what would happen but couldn't get on the server. Then I open port 22 and everything works. I can even use

ssh -vv irv@wabasha-server.net

and can get on my server. I will try it later on from outside my network and will post what happens.

[irv]

Okay, I am going to mark this thread solved because I have things working now.
I am on the road and the ssh to server is working. the command ssh -vv irv@server name is working from outside my network. and I have all my files back on my server.
Thanks to all who helped.
