Hi there @tcp,
Would you mind sharing a link to the tutorial that you’ve followed? I could then try to advise you further on what you could try to fix the problem.
If your site is not reachable this is most likely due to a couple of things:
Either the port that you are trying to access is closed by your firewall
Or your webserver like Apache or Nginx is not running
Regards, Bobby
Hey Bobby,
thank you for your answers. I was so early in the making so I deleted the droplet and started over, now its working :)
But I’m still having problems with the denied public key… also that post was flagged as spam?!
Thx, zeke
