Our production Linux box runs a database-centric application and, until recently, was reachable through the usual web endpoint. Suddenly it dropped off the map: browsers time-out, the app refuses any outside call, yet the machine itself is still up and reachable over SSH. I need someone who can jump in, trace the break, and get the service publicly accessible again. The back-end SQL flavour isn’t MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite—it’s a different engine—but all services were working together before the outage. Typical symptoms (HTTP 502, firewall rules, service crashes, etc.) are not ruled out; the only certainty is that the current error message doesn’t match the standard “connection timeout / auth failed / database not found” prompts. Key expectations • Inspect network and service logs, confirm the root cause, and restore external connectivity. • Verify the database service is listening, healthy, and reachable by the application layer. • Provide a concise hand-off note on what failed and the exact steps you took so we can avoid a repeat incident. If you have strong Linux troubleshooting skills and are comfortable with less common SQL engines, you’re the right fit. I’ll make the server available immediately after we agree on access details and an ETA for the fix.
