After running into trouble trying to put my mezzanine site up, I decided to wipe the droplet clean and rebuild it for a fresh start. I selected the same image for the droplet, and closed all SSH connections.
After trying to run “fab secure”, I get an error like this:
Fatal error: host key for 1xx.xx.xxx.xxx did not match pre-existing key! Server’s key was changed recently, or possible man-in-the-middle attack.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

Hello,
I would recommend trying the following:
- Run the following to remove the cached key:
ssh-keygen -R YOUR_DROPLETS_IP
After that test it again.
