[Koha] [EXTERNAL] [koha] Koha and opac not loading

[King, Fred]

Well, over on MEDLIB-L (the medical librarians’ listserv) we’d probably blame it on a squirrel. I’m afraid I’m out of ideas.

Esteemed colleagues, any ideas?

Hey King Fred,

I have tried afew things like rebooting the server and restarting apache which have not worked.

I can ping the server and log in directly and access other sites. I'll try the ncdu. I wonder if its space issues with my 1TB internal storage showing its 35GB full.

Any other pointers towards a solution will be most appreciated.

Regards
James

Can you ping the server? (command is "ping" plus the ip address or domain name. Hit CTRL-C to stop) . No response means the server can't be reached.
Reboot the server. That works more often than one might think.
Can you log into the server directly?
Has the server filled up with logs and other files? If you can get to the server's command line, try going to the root directory and typing "ncdu". (You may have to install it with "sudo apt install ncdu" which won't work if there's no space left at all.) NCDU tells you the space used in each directory. It's not always accurate, but it's a start.

Clearly I suspect the server, but can you connect to sites other than your Koha instance with your computer? Maybe a mouse chewed through your network cable. I hear they're yummy!

Good luck!

Hello team,

My koha instance and opac are not loading. The page tries loading for awhile then shows unable to connect message.

What could be wrong?

The server has been on but we have been closed since March so nothing has been tampered with. We intend to resume operations come monday so this is very critical

Please assist

Warm regards
James
