Did you attempt to follow these instructions on a server that already has Apache or another web server installed?
Because another server is already using port 80, Nginx cannot get access to that port. Before you continue you will want to remove any existing web server other than Nginx from your server.
apt-get update;
apt-get remove apache2;
