Hi,

It would be a great help if you can guide me on this matter as I’m kinda stuck here and not able to move ahead to complete my server setup.

I’ve completed the LEMP stack setup on my droplet.

Now, I need to install multiple WordPress sites on Nginx/Ubuntu. I’ve three ideal guides to follow:

1) https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-single-and-multiple-wordpress-site-settings-with-nginx

2) https://deliciousbrains.com/hosting-wordpress-yourself-setting-up-sites/

3) http://www.unixmen.com/setup-nginx-server-blocks-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-15-04/

Guide #2 seems simple and systematic but it does not use the common/wordpress/multisite .conf files as guide #1 does. The guide #3 is detailed but is different from guide #1 and #2 and doesn’t create the .conf files as mentioned.

Are the common/wordpress/multisite .conf files (Guide #1) essential as I wonder why others are not using them in their installations?

Can you give me your expert guidance based on your experience as to which guide I should follow? (I already created setup for one site using guide #2).

Thanks.
