I have a Ubuntu Server as VPS (OpenVZ), and yesterday I installed php-fpm, but I guess something went wrong with the installation. Because since then I cannot log in to my server over SSH with PuTTY or using WinSCP. The message I get when connecting is Network error: Connection timed out. Immediately after the installation I was not able to use emacs either, I had to re-install it with apt-get install emacs.

I have tried with clearing the firewall and rebooting the server from my web-based "control panel", but it doesn't help.

The commands I used for installation of the PHP-fpm was from Installing PHP 5.3, Nginx And PHP-fpm On Ubuntu/Debian. And I guess it has something to do with these commands:

cd /tmp
wget http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/k/krb5/libkrb53_1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-5ubuntu2_i386.deb
wget http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/icu/libicu38_3.8-6ubuntu0.2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

sudo echo "deb http://php53.dotdeb.org stable all" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php5-cli php5-common php5-suhosin
sudo apt-get install php5-fpm php5-cgi

The web-sites that are hosted from my server works fine. Anyone that have the same experience or know how this could happen? I guess that I have to re-install Ubuntu Server from my "control panel" now, but I would like to avoid this situation in the future.

Finally, I have backup on everything so nothing is lost if I have to re-install the machine.
