I followed the instructions. I set up my domain name in namescheap, I pointed the nameservers to ns1.digitaloceans.com n2,n3 … I came back to digital oceans, I clicked on add new website and I even added the domain name to the A record. So the domain does point towards the server but then it redirects to the ip address afterwards. I would like the domain name to stay whenever I type it in. What am I doing wrong?

Okay, I’m using ubuntu, apache and mediawiki. My apache configuration in /etc/apache/sites-enabled/000-default.conf is <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost ServerName civilizationfromscratch.host
</Directory>
And I tried making an htaccess file on the /var/www/html folder but it didn’t work.
Hello, @blankmail89
Could you please share more information about the server/droplet configuration itself - OS, web server (Apache, Nginx) ? You can basically share what’s the current droplet build (if you’re using docker and etc)
You can also share your current virtual host configuration for the domain name as well or share any
.htaccess
rules if you’re using Apache.Regards, Alex
