Question
Ip Address refused to connect ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

Hi everyone, been trying to figure out the cause for this. I installed wordpress using one click a week ago. Then using jetpack, i migrated my old website to this new wordpress droplet.
However after the transfer, the ip address which was working now now shows Ip Address refused to connect ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.
I don’t believe even if a map my domain to new droplet it’ll work since the content can’t be displayed via my ip address. https://159.203.104.194/
Anyone who thinks of solution, i have disabled ufw to use one for digitalocean but even when i enabled it and allowed various ports, nothing worked.

Hi there,
It sounds like that your Apache service might not be running. You could check that with the following command:
- systemctl status apache2
If it is not running you could start it with the following command:
- systemctl status apache2
If it is failing to start, I could suggest following the steps here on how to troubleshoot common Apache problems:

Feel free to share the errors here as well.

Try sharing your ufw status. You can print it by using
sudo ufw statusand share your web server config file.
