Hi there,
Are you using Nginx or Apache?
I would recommend a few things:
- Check your error logs, they should be located at
/var/logs/nginx/error.logor for Apache:/var/logs/apache2/error.log - Check the status of the service with
systemctl status nginxorsystemctl status apache2 - Run a config test with
nginx -torapachectl -t
Depending on which one you are using, I would also suggest following the steps here:
Feel free to share some of the output of the commands here so I can advise you further!
Best,
Bobby
Hello @ksstage
In addition to what’s already been mentioned, you can check if the DNS of the domain name is pointed correctly, both the www and non-www records.
You can examine the server logs as per Bobby’s advise as this will provide some information on what’s going on with the website requests.
Regards
