Hello, I have a 512 MB basic package droplet. I am running Ubuntu 14.04 and LEMP stack. I am trying to host multiple wordpress site in a single droplet. I have uploaded my wordpress files to " /var/www/domain.com/html" and configured the nginx block following this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-nginx-server-blocks-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-14-04-lts
My /etc/nginx/sites-available/domain.com block looks like the following:
server { listen 80 default_server; listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
root /var/www/domain.com/html;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name 128.199.247.111;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
}
But when I try to access the site: http://128.199.247.111 , it gets “could not connect to 128.199.247.111” error.
Any Suggestions.

WordPress requires a PHP pass through with nginx. You should look into configuring PHP5-FPM and then FastCGI with your vhost.
For all the details on setting up Wordpress on Nginx, check out: <br> <br>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-wordpress-with-nginx-on-ubuntu-14-04 <br> <br>The short version is like Rhys mentioned, you need to set up a PHP pass through. So your server block should look like: <br> <br><pre> <br>server { <br> listen 80 default_server; <br> listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on; <br> <br> root /var/www/html; <br> index index.php index.php index.html index.htm; <br> <br> server_name your_domain.com; <br> <br> location / { <br> # try_files $uri $uri/ =404; <br> try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args; <br> } <br> <br> error_page 404 /404.html; <br> <br> error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html; <br> location = /50x.html { <br> root /usr/share/nginx/html; <br> } <br> <br> location ~ .php$ { <br> try_files $uri =404; <br> fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+.php)(/.+)$; <br> fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock; <br> fastcgi_index index.php; <br> include fastcgi_params; <br> } <br>} <br></pre>
