Hi guys, i’m trying to install wordpress and i followed the guide from this website: http://publishingwithwordpress.com/installing-wordpress-digital-ocean/#Installing_WordPress
When i try to perform this step:
Tell Apache to enable the site and reload: sudo a2ensite wordpress
After typing in Putty root@www:/var/www# sudo a2ensite wordpress
I get the error: ERROR: Site wordpress does not exist!
Could you please help? I’ve tried to google the problem but none of the solutions posted worked for me.
Also, is it possible/advisable to “reset” the server to default and start from scratch?
Thank you

This question was answered by @sierracircle:
probably not necessary to reset the server.
One thing I can tell you: if you used Ubuntu 14.04 for your droplet, then the site config file needs to be named yourdomain.conf rather than wordpress.
So on the part where it says this:
sudo nano wordpressdo this instead (where yourdomain.com is whatever domain you will be using):
sudo nano yourdomain.com.confpaste the stuff into that,save…and then do:
sudo a2ensite yourdomain.com
