I am trying to get a simple setup with nginx to host some static HTML pages on my Ubuntu 14.04 and no matter what I do I can never seem to figure out how to get the config right to go to a web address provided. I have never used Nginx until my boss told me to and I have spent 2 days just trying to get the config right, I'm at the point to where I have puTTy up with FileZilla and can't even find a config page anymore, I have become very frustrated and flustered over this. Any help is appreciated...

Thank you.

The kernel used in this tutorial is Debian 7: it will go over how to set up a new directory/grant permissions/add content/turn on virtual hosting/set up local hosts.
