• Hello

    I’m unable to access my wordpress blog site. Whenever I attempt to navigate to my web address, http://www.themadcoder.com, I receive a message, “Sorry, the website http://www.themadcoder.com cannot be found”. I tried a few things I found on the forums here and attempted the setup instructions I found here:

    https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-wordpress-on-ubuntu-14-04

    However, I’m still met with the same issue. I had originally set up a LAMP but now I’m using a wordpress image from my hosting provider.

    Currently in my WordPress Dashboard under my General Settings I have:
    Wordpress Address (URL): 192.x.x.x – My IP Address
    Site Address (URL): http://www.themadcoder.com

    I had tried to set my WordPress Address to my domain address…but that was a bad time.

    I also configured the hosts file on my local machine, Windows 7, but received the same error when attempting to navigate to my site address.

    I also noticed that when I attempted to ping, http://www.themadcoder.com, I received a different address than what I have. After a tracert it looks as though its an address in the UK.

    VPS hosting provider: Digital Ocean
    Platform: Ubuntu 14.04
    Server: Apache2
    DB: MySQL
    Wordpress Version: 4.2.2

    Ping information:

    C:\Users\User>ping http://www.themadcoder.com
