Re: Upgrade from stable to testing hosed my server

I used aptitude to upgrade a headless server from Debian stable to
Debian testing. The upgrade did not generate any error messages, but
when I rebooted I could not ssh into the box (connection refused) nor
do I get any output on a monitor I attached to the box (no signal).
Apache does not appear to be running either on the box (could not
connect to the box). I can successfully ping the box.
Any suggestions on how to fix this this server would be greatly
appreciated!

Hi Mark,
it's very hard to help you right now. Do you have a log of the terminal
session on which you performed the upgrade?
Always read the upgrade notes first in the future. All of the notes from
older stable release notes [1] will help you to perform the upgrade
without any major issue. Of course there could be some differences, but
none which will lead to unaccessible server.
