I have had a django app deployed on a droplet with gunicorn and nginx setup. The app has been running beautifully for 3.5months. Today, I needed to take a snapshot. So I turned off the droplet(using ‘poweroff’) inside the console-access within the digitalocean site. I started the snapshot when it was 30-40% complete digitalocean gave a pop-up saying something went wrong with snapshot. I thought it failed so i refreashed the page to see if the snapshot would still be there with is progess bar and it was. it then completed its process and a snapshot was created. I then turned back on the droplet using the websites UI and then tried to go to my sites domain; with no successful response.
I have tried everything trying to get it to work!
I have ran the lines:
No Luck
Everything is right and working but I cant access my site from its domain or its IP.
I then used whois to make sure my domain was working; it was. I used whois to check the IP address to make sure it was working; it was. I checked the reverse of the server IP and got my domain in response. EVERYTHING APPEARS CORRECT. Yet, its not working.
Someone please help. quick. My site is essential for a business.
The domain is ‘bluegrasspetcrematorium.com’ if anyone needs to see the response browsers give.

When you turn off the droplet, you must enter from your DO account, and activate the firewall from there. Don’t do it from putty / ssh or it won’t work. Although your problem may not be this, but try this: sudo ufw disable / enable. In my video tutorial I explain how to do it (English subtitles):
