Question

Can i install a new WordPress in this way?

  • Posted December 15, 2013

I have a running WordPress site,Followed this tutorial to install it https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-wordpress-with-nginx-on-ubuntu-12-04

Now i wish to install a New WordPress site in the same Droplet(Don’t wish to use Multisite).

Is it possible to install a new WordPress site by following the above tutorial in same way(Changing the directory address) and all other things as needed?

My Concern is actually about IP address,I can visit my site currently using the IP address, as in the NGINX config i am using IP address instead of domain.

In the above Tutorial of NGINX,I don’t think there is anything to change in the NGINX config files. In the step 6 we are copying the default and making changes in the copied file.

So,I just wanted to know,Just changing the IP address in the previous installation and pointing the previous and new installation to the domains will work?
