Asked by Ben Rothman
I followed this tutorial: https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/wordpress#getting-started
After logging in to SSH and setting up my WordPress site and SSL I got the following message: Completing the configuration of WordPress.Success: WordPress installed successfully. Installing WP fail2ban – Advanced Security Plugin (4.3.0.9) Downloading installation package from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-fail2ban.4.3.0.9.zip… Unpacking the package… Installing the plugin… Plugin installed successfully. Success: Installed 1 of 1 plugins. Plugin ‘wp-fail2ban’ activated. Success: Activated 1 of 1 plugins. Installation complete. Access your new WordPress site in a browser to continue.
But when I navigate to the site url in a browser I see a Digital Ocean splash page. How do I access my site?

Hi there,
Thank you for reporting this problem! This should now be working as normal.
As a side note, before doing the initial setup, make sure to point your domain name to the server IP address:
