Question
Created a new droplet, but did not get a new IP address
Hi,
I destroyed my old droplet and created a new one (the same domain name) with an SSH key. However, I did not get a new ip address and password, so when I try to connect my droplet with PuTTY using my old IP address I get an “Access denied”
Also when I try to add a new domain, I select my droplet and the old IP address appears. So I can’t create a new DNS
Can someone help me? It’s been 5 days since I try to host my website and STILL I can’t get it to work. I’m kind of mad and tired but hey, at least I’m “learning”
Thank you

PuTTY might be using old info from the ‘known_hosts’ file. This file is normally found in a .ssh directory, but PuTTY stores this info in the Windows Registry under HKEYCURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\SshHostKeys
Rename the key referencing your droplet and try to connect again.
Have you clicked on the
Add SSH Keys
button and added your SSH Keys before clicking on the Create Droplet button?Yes I did, but I found out the problem: i wasn’t using Pageant!
