Problem updating wordpress adress (URL) and site adress (URL)
Hi. I’m trying to make a one-click install wordpress in my droplet (Active 512MB Ram 20GB SSD Disk new york WordPress on Ubuntu 14.04) and following this tutorial:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/one-click-install-wordpress-on-ubuntu-14-04-with-digitalocean
I folow everything right: ssh to my droplet > get the .htaccess password > create my wordpress user and password > finish my wordpress installation > set my registar (gandi) to foward my domain to my droplet IP
And then, when I Update my Wordpress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) to my domain/hostname (“http://surian.org” in my case), the system goes back to http://(droplet-IP)/wp-login.php screen to login again.
but then I just cant login anymore, my user dont work and recovering my password by email dont work either.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

Ok. I can acess phpmyadmin, go to my database > wp_options and change the values of Wordpress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) back to how it was originally, ip adress instead of domains.
The Site Adress (URL) (called ‘home’ in phpmyadmin) i can point to my domain with no problem.
The Wordpress Adress (URL) (called 'siteurl’ in phpmyadmin) is set to my ip adress now. If i change it to my domain, then the problem happens, i go to wp-login.php screen but my user don’t work anymore....
I need a light!
