Just spun up an AWS Lightsail VPS and have WP Installed.
Created a Public Static IP and changed wp-config.php siteURL and Home to match.

http://ip/

I am now trying to access the Admin login using http://ip/wp-admin.php and all it shows is the original plesk default website installation page.

Even with rebooting the VPS, not sure what else I can do to access using the Static IP.

  1. Ok – this worked for me on a Plesk Lightsail instance with the default WordPress install

    Login to the plesk interface (http://ip:8443)

    Click on ‘tools and settings’ on the left hand side of the screen

    Click on IP Addresses from the list of settings (it’s under tools & resources)

    Click on the IP address of your server

    Under default site, select your wordpress site

    If you still get the default site, try another browser or an incognito window (I kept getting the cached site and thought it was still broke)

  2. Is the wordpress setup as a virtual host?

    If so, then you have to use the server name you configured in the web server in order to access it.

    If you access via IP, it will go to the default host on the server.
