Hey guys,
I want a server which automatically backups, but didn’t activate automatic backups when I first created my droplet. So I thought I’d create a new droplet based off the first one, and this time, I’d activate automatic backups.
So I created a snapshot of Droplet 1 (with fully functional webpage on it) and used it as image for the creation of Droplet 2. When I open the IP of Droplet 1 in my browser, I see the normal website, but when I open the IP of the new droplet in my browser, I only get the apache standard page.
What do I do wrong? Or is it not possible how I imagine it? Thanks.

You did it correctly.
The problem you are seeing is your new droplet has a different ip. With apache this probably a virtualhost setting needs adjusting.
Sorry its been years since I used apache.
Thanks for the answer. I appreciate it.
I thought about something like that already. Pity cause I would have no clue where to search. It’ll take a while.
BTW it’s funny that I didn’t get any notification that here’s an answer.
