My Ubuntu template cannot SSH as root

If you have Ubuntu on your OpenVZ/LXC plans and you cannot login as root via SSH, it is because direct root ssh is disabled by default, so you need to access "NoVNC Console" in web panel andn login as root there and modify "/ etc / ssh / sshd_config" ( no quotes/no spaces )

Search and change below

PermitRootLogin yes

Save it and restart sshd via command

/ etc / init.d / ssh restart

( no spaces )
