On your droplet, delete /var/www/html/index.html
Your new wordpress install should already be up and running at yourdomain.com/index.php but apache uses index.html as the default index file so apache will display that if present by default.
Try to delete the index.html then, also check if .php is set up to run as index too.
httpd.conf or dir.conf :
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.cgi index.htm
