One-Click Install Wordpress Droplet, worked then cannot connect using IP or domain

Posted on October 18, 2021

I one-clicked the Wordpress Droplet install. I was able to add my SSH key and have my domain (content.spinanddestroy.com) and then made a change to permalinks so I can have the REST API. Now whenever I try to reach my site on the browser (through the IP or domain name) it says refused to connect.

However I can ssh into the machine just fine. But I can’t seem to find Apache or Nginx either to try and debug this.

Hi @kycalica,

I can see your domain is now working properly. It’s possible your DNS hadn’t resolved properly yet when you were testing it out.

If however you did something else to fix the issue, can you please share it, I’m eager to know!
