I have a brand new Digital Ocean (DO) running Ubuntu 16.04 (this was a Ubuntu 16.04 with LAMP). I’ve installed Wordpress on it using the default configuration.
It’s been 3 days since my DNS are pointing to DO servers, but I can’t access my site through url, but I can access it by typing the IP on address bar.
I’ve add a A record with @ pointing to my droplet, then when I type my url it changes to my IP and I can access the site. Off course, I don’t want this configuration.
My domain is novetatd.com.br
My apache configuration file is:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName novetatd.com.br
ServerAlias www.novetatd.com.br
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
<Directory /var/www/html/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.pl index.cgi index.html index.xhtml index.htm
</IfModule>
</VirtualHost>
At DO domain panel I have only 3 records with type NS, hostname novetatd.com.br, value ‘directs nsX.digitalocean.com.’ (X from 1 to 3), TTL 1800
What I’m missing?

What’s the value of WordPress Address URL and Site Address URL when you look here? http://novetatd.com.br/wp-admin/options-general.php
How! The problem was WORDPRESS! I don’t know why but Wordpress configurations was pointing to my ip instead of my domain
It is now solved!
Thanks!
Hi @JonathanBatista In the DO control panel, in the DNS section, you need to add A-records pointing to you server for “@” and for “www”
You say “I’ve add a A record” - but where have you done that?
