Hello, I just completed the 1-click installation for Wordpress for my Droplet. This droplet is linked to a Hostgator domain, which had already a static website nested on. After I correctly changed the servers to my domain, run the Wordpress installation and did everything in order to start a fresh wordpress website on this domain, following the URL I still see my old website, which was not cancelled but it is still there. How to change it? (yes, I already deleted the cache ;) and yes, i already deleted the .htaccess file). If i enter not through the url, but using the ip generated once I linked the domain with Digital Ocean, instead, it says that “The requested URL / was not found on this server.”
Finally, when I log into my droplet console I can navigate between folders like /var/www etc but I cannot see them in the URL… Why is this happening? How can I launch my wordpress website? Should I cancel the old files from the file manager of Hostgator? Thanks in advance everybody, Enrico.
