I have tried to install this two services, but support says that the best solution is two droplets, but I don’t want it. Please, tell me how to install both in same droplet.

you can use reverse proxy redirect for the ghost blog so you can have site.com/ghost and have wordpress as default on site.com etc this stackoverflow might helphttp://stackoverflow.com/a/20078669

for lighttpd you can see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12470062/proxying-a-sub-folder-using-lighttpd-mod-proxy and for apache2 see “Configure the reverse proxy in Apache” on http://blog.apericore.com/self-hosting-a-ghost-blog-on-debian/

It’s certainly possible. For Ghost you can set up a reverse proxy with Ngin x, and for WordPress you can use a basic LEMP setup (a more in depth WordPress on Nginx article is here ). Your Nginx configuration would look something like: server { listen 80 default_server; root /var/www/html; index index.php index.html index.htm; server_name wordpress-blog-doamin.com; location / { # try_files $uri $uri/ =404; try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args; } error_page 404 /404.html; error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html; location = /50x.html { root /usr/share/nginx/html; } location ~ \.php$ { try_files $uri =404; fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; include fastcgi_params; } } server { listen 80; server_name ghost-blog-domain.com ; client_max_body_size 10M; location / { proxy_pass http://localhost:2368/; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_buffering off; } } The port used for the proxy_pass should match the “port” setting in /var/www/ghost-blog-domain.com/ghost/config.js This setup assumes you have different domains setup for each site.
