Why doesn't my snapshot work?

Posted on October 11, 2018

I saw all those previous “Creating a droplet from Snapshot doesnt work” questions but they didn’t answer my question. So here it goes:

The droplet that is created is my snapshot: I see the right directories below /home. But when I try to login to Virtualmin my password is not recognized and when I try to look at my site the php files are downloaded.

Could this snapshot be outdated? Or perhaps this was a live snapshot? But it reads like some things aren’t working right.
