I have 3 WordPress installed on my DO ubuntu on var/www/html directory. There was no issue from the last two years. But recently while I am installing another script on the same directory, I had to purge and reinstall the apache2.
And after that, I am unable to access my all websites. It says “Unable to connect”
When I entered IP address it’s showing the apache server home page instead of 3 directory page that was shown before.
I have tried to restart the apache server and its running well but still no result.
Please help.
Thanks.

Hello, @neelhabib
I can see that the sites you’ve mentioned are now loading fine. Could you please share with us what was needed to sort the issue? Did you restored your droplet from a backup or you’ve sort this one manually? I assume the virtual host configuration was missing after the re-install and this caused the issue for you.
