Hello, I have wordpress installed on my droplet by default. That is for woocommerce actually. Now I want to install ghost for my subdomain blog.creativecases.in. I have installed it in a blog folder, the link for blog is now http://creativecases.in:2368. I want it to be linked to the http://blog.creativecases.in, not redirection, the linking. Please someone help me out with that. I've been trying since like couple of hours now, couldn't find a answer to that. I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed.

I already tried doing that, my website is on apache actually, and when i set the port of nginx to 80, it doesnt run because at port 80 apache is already installed.

Please tell me how to go about?

You can set nginx to run listen on 127.0.0.1:8080 and configure Apache to reverse proxy to nginx: https://p.kk7.me/hohatorije.apache

Kamal, Why would you need apache to reverse proxy to nginx which in turn, is reverse proxying to Ghost? That extra step of running nginx causes more system resources to be unnecessarily wasted. Aneesh, you may want to take a look at http://blog.0x1a.us/installing-ghost-using-apache/ instead without running nginx. ;)
