Asked by liberdamj
I was following this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-wordpress-with-lamp-on-ubuntu-18-04 on my Ubuntu 18.04 droplet and I followed everything to the letter but when I go to https://[myIPAddress] it is unable to connect. If I go to HTTP://[myIPAddress] I get my Apache2 ubuntu default page. Wordpress should be running. Not sure why I can’t connect? Any help much appreciated, this is my first time doing any of this so I am sure I made a mistake somewhere, but honestly just wouldn’t really know how to find it.

Hi @liberdamj,
Usually these tutorials are directed in cases you want to use your domain rather than your IP address. You’ll need to make change to your file
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.confOpen the file and find the line where it says
Change it to the path to your website.
Once you have done the changes restart apache and that’s it
