Need Help in getting instance working again !!

0

Hello. My site on Lightsail was unresponsive so I mistakenly did a force stop instead of a reboot. I restarted it but it is either not working or take several times to come up. It has a static IP. I read something about flushing ???? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks !

Hello, I'd be happy to help you get your Lightsail instance back online. Could you please provide some additional details? Specifically:

  • Have you checked the Lightsail console for any error messages or alerts related to your instance?
  • Is the instance currently running, or is it still unresponsive?
  • When you say it takes several attempts to come up, what exactly happens during these attempts?
  • Can you confirm whether the static IP is correctly configured and associated with the instance?
  • What exactly did you read about flushing, and where did you come across this information? Flushing typically refers to clearing cached data.

  • It appears to have rectified itself. Was just odd behavior for a bit, but everything looks fine now .. i hope !!! Yeah, the flushing messaged came up when I mistakenly did a force stop (instead of a reboot). I cannot recall the exact wording but it was indeed similar to clearing the cache. I will investigate how to do that for future needs. Thank you ! I cannot believe to speedy responses here and am eternally grateful !!

  • Good to know it!!

Hi,

Instances can take a few minutes to be running again after a stop. So would advise you to wait a bit :)

With the StaticIp, there should be no change to your instance's public IPv4 address due to the stop-start actions or any other DNS related changes needed once it becomes running. So you should be all good there.

Thanks.
