SSH fails after Port change on CentOS 7

[coffeelyme]

After changing the port.

And restarting the SSH service, it failed on me.

I got the following info when I ran systemctl status sshd.service:

sshd.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=255/n/a
Unit sshd.service entered failed state.
sshd.service failed.
Any suggestions on how do I fix this (newb here)?

Try temporaly disable selinux and restart sshd sedvice:

setenforce 0
systemctl restart sshd
systemctl status sshd

Check the output of:

Code: Select all

semanage port --list | fgrep ssh

if it doesn't include your new sshd port then semanage is the command that you use to add it.
