I’ve just created a droplet and am basically unsure what to do next. I’ve got the Node server up and running with mysql, can access everything remotely but, what now?
Do I need to install Apache? I would have presumed that would have been done but I cannot access the site by IP address so I guess not.
Where do my files go? Which folder resolves as web root?
Is there a full on tutorial anywhere that gives a start to finish example?
Many thanks
