Download the log file of the SBS. It will list the listening port. It should be 1000 higher than the FS port. If not, there may be a port collision in your configuration. In the following case, it's 48671.

Attempt to make a TCP connection to see if the SBS is reachable from the outside.

telnet example.ryzom.dev 48671

Attempt to make a TCP connection locally, from the server itself, if it's not reachable from the outside.

telnet localhost 48671

If the TCP service is not available, the SBS service may not have been able to launch properly. Look for SQL errors in the log.

This may indicate an authentication issue. If you're using host validation, check the SQL server logs for authentication failures.

FIXME: If SBS fails to connect to SQL this should show some warning in the status field on the admin panel!
