How to restart webserver in digital ocean droplet?

[mrchow19910319]

I created a droplet on digital ocean, and it gives me an IP address I can use.

I can log into the linux server it created, but I cannot get access to the web server. 

This is the error I get whenever I key in that ip address. 

 

 

And I submitted a support ticket to digital ocean, here is their response. (I dont understand a lot of it.. )

 

 

From what I highlighted up there you can see that they suggested me to restart the webserver. 

So my question is this,, how do I do that?

what HTTP server do you use? Nginx or Apache?

 

If you use NGINX: (all under root)
service nginx restart

for apache

service httpd restart

service apache2restart

err how do I check which server I am using?  

 

 

Okay, all three commends give me one output:   XXX service is not found. 

DOes that mean that the server crashed? What should I do next?

oh probably you don't have one set up yet. If you're going to use this for PHP website, you can follow how to set up your web server by DigitalOcean themselves

Find out what webserver you are using then find out what distro you are using then typ into google "restart {webserver} on {distro}"
