Getting 404 Not Found on newly created droplet with new domain name

Posted on October 24, 2019

178.128.144.18 dailyordnance.com

I created the droplet last night set the DNS to ns1/2/3.digitalocean.com.

I set up SSL with Certbot for http and https.

Created A records for dailyordnance.com and www.dailyordnance.com (and *.dailyordnance.com but not sure if this is necessary).

This is a Wordpress install.

I don’t really know what else to do because I’m not very good with networking stuff.

Thank you for any help.

Hello, @rottenprimate

Can you please share the Apache/Nginx configuration file with us or check if the document root is correct and pointing to the directory where the WordPress installation is?

Let me know how it goes.
