Question
Can't navigate to my droplets IP
Okay managed to SSH to my droplet and upon doing so I get a list of instructions. ....
To finish installing Wordpress, navigate to your droplet’s IP: http://178.xx.xx.xxx and use credentials from below.
When I type in the ip address I get.....
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access / on this server.
Why on earth am I getting this????
Am unsure about the next bit as well....
Make sure to specify hostname from DO panel to your droplet before creating it (for example: 'blog.mydomain.com' or 'myblog.com')
I believe I did this when I set up the droplet a few weeks ago:
droplet name: dev.mysite.com
hostname: www.mysite.com
No idea what this is all about, haven’t got this far:
Server will also respond to its IP address, so if you finish installation from http://IP then
you will need to change hostname from Wordpress Settings later (from http://IP to http://hostname)
So frustrating!!
