Bug: wp-fail2ban causes project to corrupt in initial setup #215

Description

Using digital oceans WordPress 6.4.5 on Ubuntu 22.04 droplet, the initial setup would fail every single time. I would receive errors and the page was unreachable, even after properly setting DNS records to point to droplet's IP. Eventually, I commented out the below two lines and that allowed the wordpress project to set up and be accessible. After set up, I then ran the two lines individually and installed wp-fail2ban and the wordpress application continued to work fine.

Not really sure what the issue was? But I rebuilt the droplet many times, tried many different things, and it wasn't until I commented out the wp-fail2ban install lines that I was able to get my wordpress project up and running.

Thought I would leave this here incase anyone else faced these issues and weren't sure how to resolve!
