Unable to connect to SQL server instance ubuntu 18.04

I am running SQL server on ubuntu 18.04 which I was able to connect to successfully via SSMS. But I am not able to connect anymore. My first instinct was to check if the SQL server was running by executing

sudo systemctl status mssql-server

lo and behold the SQL server instance was active so I rebooted the entire server and ran the above command again and saw the following:

mssql-server.service - Microsoft SQL Server Database Engine

I checked the logs at /var/opt/mssql/log/errorlog and found this .

I'm not an expert and don't know the next move to make.

So the reason for this error was getting was because I messed up with the file ownership.. running the following command fixed it for me too bad I spend so much time on this:

cd /var/opt

sudo chown mssql:mssql -R mssql

time to take that dump :-D.
