Plone on vps suddenly stopped showing the website and the local host

i installled Plone 5 successfully on VPS and was able to access my website successfully on internet. www.biztech-resources.com, but today when i tried to access the website it accesses a html 'index.html' page that i have already changed. even when i try to access my local host that is www.biztech-resources.com:8080 it shows "webpage not available" what could be the problem?

Need help and comments on urgent basis

What you see is the 'zope index page'. Your site is actually at:
http://www.biztech-resources.com:8080/Biztech-Resources

Would can add several Plone sites to your zope 'server', by clicking the 'add Plone site' button.
What people usually do is having something in front, for example an apache server, and then have a 'rewrite rule' , so that
http://www.biztech-resources.com shows http://www.biztech-resources.com:8080/Biztech-Resources

http://docs.plone.org/manage/deploying/front-end/apache.html
(if it looks complicated, you could consider installing webmin http://www.webmin.com/ )

It is also possible to set up the site with a 'VirtualHostMonster', it is 10 years since I did that, but you can maybe use this info:

http://docs.zope.org/zope2/zope2book/VirtualHosting.html

We use the VirtualHostMonster mapping tab for all out sites. Works like a charm and doesn't require any nginx or apache complicated configuration and doesn't require any restarting of services. I'm not sure why the recommended solution is rewrite rules in a proxy server. Seems additional complication.

http://www.biztech-resources.com:8080/Biztech-Resources

is obviously available and working. Likely your reverse proxy configuration (virtual hosting configuration)
is broken.

Thats exactly why I like to keep the domain rewrites in the ZODB. My nginx concerns whole platform configuration, not the changes for specific sites in a multisite setup.

thanks for your help and replies. Yes the website is working and still i don't know how :slight_smile: but i restarted my server may be that worked.
