Hello, I am new at this and I followed “Introduction to Nginx and LEMP on Ubuntu 14.04” tutorial. I am stuck on part 3 where it says “root /var/www/example.com/html;”
This is the error I am getting:
v@V:~$ root /var/www/vincentlampone.com/html; -bash: /usr/bin/root: No such file or directory
Seems like I don’t have root set up?

The part you are reading is to be modified in the config file. Not an actual command to type.
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
root /usr/share/nginx/html; <---- HERE :D
index index.html index.htm;
server_name localhost;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
