Hi all,
New to this stuff and being really overwhelmed. I’m at step 7 in this tutorial and getting the error above.
I just created the file in the previous step so why is it giving me this error?
Thanks

This question was answered by @ryanpq:
Are you doing this on Ubuntu 12.04 or on 14.04. That tutorial includes this note:
UPDATE: Newer Ubuntu versions create a directory called 'html' instead of 'www' by default. If /usr/share/nginx/www does not exist, it's probably called html. Make sure you update your configuration appropriately.This would likely explain the error you are encountering if the www directory does not exist. You will need to ensure you update that path you are using to html instead.
