Question

Hello people. Hope you can help me, my name is Camilo, from CL.
As I was following through the tutorial (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/como-proteger-apache-con-let-s-encrypt-en-ubuntu-18-04-es), I tried to install SSL certificate for my domain.
I did every step that is pointed in the tutorial, but at the end, I opened my domain and the main page shows me “Welcome to zitaparts.cl! Success! The zitaparts.cl virtual host is working!” (obviously I wrote that creating virtual host). You can check this --> https://zitaparts.cl
But, the main issue here is I can’t access to my wordpress site for my business, and less important, I don’t know if I did properly the install of SSL Certificate.
Just want to revert everything or put the right code to show my wordpress instead host virtual
Best !

Hello, @zitachile
At the moment the site is secured with a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate. What you need to do is to update the document root for the domain name in the virtual host and point it to the WordPress installation directory.
You can open the virtual hosts file with any text editor and edit the DocumentRoot path to match the directory of the WordPress install.
And then alter this line:
once this is done you can save the file and then check the Apache configuration for any syntax errors:
You should see the following output:
Restart Apache to implement your changes:
Your domain should now be loading the WordPress installation when visited.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
