How to get my domain name to resolve to my WordPress install?

Posted on July 10, 2013

I created a droplet using the default Wordpress on Ubuntu 12.10.

When the droplet was created I was given an ip address for the droplet.

I then went into godaddy and assigned the digitalocean dns servers to my domain name and they now resolve properly.

The problem: For some reason when I type in my domain name it takes me to my server ‘It works’ page instead of my WordPress install.

When I type in my digital ocean ip address I am taken to the WordPress install just fine.

So what do I change and where, to make it so that my domain name will resolve over to my WordPress install instead of the ‘It Works’ Ubuntu page?
