Created droplet from snapshot. Now things don't work.
I created a snapshot from my droplet and then created a new droplet from that snapshot. Then I transferred the domain. But that doesn’t work very well:
- SSH and FTP seem to work correctly
- Instead of my website I see only a directory content. That directory content contains one directory - some directory I uploaded separately from the rest of website. I also see one file. But that file is not hosted in the root directory of my server and I am puzzled where it comes from.
- I use VirtualMin for management. I can login with Virtualmin with the login of a specific user. But when I try to login as root I am not recognized.
Does anyone have an idea what is happening here and what I should do?

I found that it is running my domain from /var/www/html/ instead of /home/mydomain/
It looks like something went wrong closing down the website before the snapshot
I attempted the doplet->snapshot->transfer->snapshot->droplet and nothing worked at all. Now my original droplets don’t function since I turned them back on to create the snapshots. I don’t even know where to begin looking for the cause of the problem. I’ve got a WordPress and Discourse 1-click droplet and neither are functioning anymore.
