How to Add Multiple WordPress Sites to Unbuntu 14.04 w/LEMP?

Posted on January 17, 2016

Hey Guys,

Finally decided to take the leap and learn how to setup a server via command line. I’ve successfully got my server up and running on Unbuntu with LEMP and PHPMyadmin installed thanks to all of the amazing tutorials here.

I’ve run into a roadblock and am not sure how to proceed. I would like to add multiple WordPress (NOT Multisite) installations to the servers, but have not been able to find any good tutorials.

I found this one, but its not as clear as I would like it to be: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-single-and-multiple-wordpress-site-settings-with-nginx

Any recommendations or someone willing to spell it out?

Thanks in advance!
