login community faq

When I ssh into my server, nothing comes up when I type ls ~/ or just ls. I know django is up and running because the default pages shows up at my url.

I also noticed the websites area says "The Django libraries are installed in the ~/webapps/<app_name>/lib/python2.7/django directory."

However, ~/webapps/ is not an existing directory according to my terminal. Am I logging in as the wrong user or something?

Are you logged in as your primary account? What you are describing is the result of logging in as a secondary ssh/ftp user.

I must not be, would that just be my username @web###.webfaction.com? Because that doesn't work....or there's a special password for it I don't know.

Your primary account name is the same as the account name to log into the control panel. And yes, it would be username@webXXX.webfaction.com

The password would be the initial password we sent with the welcome message. You can also change it in the control panel.

Hmm, I'm getting "ssh: connect to host webXXX.webfaction.com port 22: No route to host"

and, of course, I'm putting in the numbers from my dashboard in place of XXX. That's weird, it was just working...

Yeah, the host just times out now.

Maybe open a support ticket and provide us with your IP. It's possible that your IP is now banned on the server for too many failed login attempts.

Ah, that makes sense, then. Thanks.
