New droplet redirects to existing one. Why?

Posted on November 5, 2013

Hi, I took a snapshot of my droplet (cpustorage.com - 192.241.182.149) and used it to create a new droplet (162.243.78.47). I also configured packcrew.com to go to this new droplets IP address and droplet. However, when I go to either 162.243.78.47 or packcrew.com, the browser automatically redirects to cpustorage.com. Can you help me with this?

My goal was to create a new site at packcrew.com and use cpustorage.com as a template which I will then modify to my new needs.

Thanks!

Thanks, Pablo. This seems helpful and it seems like I’ve got my work cut out for me. I’ll give it a shot tonight. Thanks!

Hello, <br> <br>Assuming from the tags you used, you are using Wordpress. Have you updated the Wordpress database to use the new domain instead of the old domain? I would try this; http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-change-wordpress-domain-name-using-phpmyadmin

Log into your WordPress Dashboard and navigate to <code>Settings</code> => <code>General</code>. What’s listed as your <code>WordPress Address (URL)</code> and <code>Site Address (URL)</code>? Make sure you have them set to <code>packcrew.com</code>.
