Web server stops working on restore?

Posted July 30, 2013 4.1k views
I had a droplet running django and apache+mod_wsgi for a web server. I recently wanted to switch to the S.F. data center so I created a snapshot of my droplet and then destroyed my Ny1 droplet. After i restored my droplet, I visited the I.P. address of my server and I get "It works!" default apache webpage. Everything is still intact and I reloaded apache multiple time but I still no luck. Any help is appreciated.

Run the following command as root:

"grep -r -i 'old IP' /etc/apache2/sites-enabled"

Edit all the files that were listed in grep's output and make sure your IP address is correct.

Did you get a different IP address with the new droplet?

Yes, but i visited the new droplet I.P. address, not my domain.

My guess is the new server will have a new IP address, but the snapshot will contain the old IP addresses. Are your files on the new droplet?

Yes it has a new IP address and my files are on the droplet, but for some reason django does not show up.

What's the contents of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled? You should also update your DNS records w/the new IP address, if you haven't done so already.
