Question
Can't access new droplet created from snapshot of another droplet

Asked by arnoldwytenburg
I’m new to server management, so please forgive what might be a silly question…
I created a new droplet from a snapshot taken from another droplet which is currently live. Both droplets are the same configuration except that one is on NYC3 and the other on TOR1.
The new droplet does not have a domain name associated with it yet so I am trying to access it in my browser by IP address (159.203.11.178).
The new droplet can be accessed at this IP address via PuTTY, but if I type the address into my browser, the site won’t load. Actually, it looks like it’s caught in a loop.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Cheers, Arnold

Hi MDS,
Yep, you’re right - it is a problem with the app. The app is throwing a 404 error which causes the script to be sent to the browser. Now all I need to do is figure out why;-)

I visited your IP address and it is returning the following output:
<script>window.location='/'</script>. Which is causing the browser to continuously change the location to “/”. The issue might actually be in your website code, I will suggest checking your index file and see if you can see the line above.
