Droplet Installation went wrong

Posted on June 27, 2019

So I bought a WP Droplet and changed the root password via SSH, afterwards when trying to access via IP I never got the WP Install Wizard. I also made a huge mistake; after setting uo the password change I got promted with the Certbot screen, accepted to install https on my domain but misspelled my domain… Now everytime I try to access via IP or URL I get: Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu) Server at “wrongdomain.com” Port 80

So far I tried to setting up name servers and A record for the right domain and it made no difference.

How can I change the Apache(Ubuntu) url ?

How can I make the WP Install Wizard screen appear?

Thanks (:

Hello,

If this is a brand new installation and if you don’t have any experience with sever management the easiest fix would be to delete the server and spin up a new one.

But if you are feeling adventurous you would need to check a few things:

in your apache config, check if your server name is specified correctly
make sure that your Wordpress Site and Home URLs are correct, if not change them.

Let me know how it goes!
