I accidentally typed the wrong site url while installing, and now the link does not work, making the forum inaccessible. How do I fix this?

Change the site URL in the app.yml file and rebuild

Should be fixed

you would need to use something like putty and do it from the command prompt or a program like WINSCP

the file is located in `/var/discourse/containers`

Did you follow the official installation guide, or use their one-click install?

I’m afraid we can’t support the one click install here as it’s a third-party package created and maintained by DigitalOcean.

My recommendation would be to use the [official install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true) method, that way we can offer you assistance in the future.

Create a new droplet, then follow the guide above.

Be sure to use the new droplet IP address in DNS.
