Hello.
My current website (hosted by a Swedish company) has Wordpress installed in a subfolder. My friend uses it for blogging. I cannot install Ghost on that server, so I got a DO droplet with pre-installed Ghost. That works perfectly.
But I cannot point my domain name (DNS etc.) to the DO server before I manage to install and run Wordpress on it too. Wouldn’t want my friend’s blog to go down for too long. I have followed the steps here https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-linux-nginx-mysql-php-lemp-stack-on-ubuntu-12-04 to install LEMP and set up Wordpress, but I cannot access it via the browser.
I’m thinking that perhaps it’s not possible to install both Ghost and Wordpress on a pre-installed droplet, so to speak.
I would pastebin any config files etc. if I knew in advance which ones were needed for one of you to help me with this, so that will have to come later.

Perhaps I should add that my plan is to have the WP blog accessed at http://frurinblad.example.com, and my Ghost blog at http://www.example.com somehow.
Well, thank you for pointing me in the right direction, at least ^_^ <br>I looked in the wordpress file I found there, and saw that I has missed a digit in the IP address. The complete file is here: http://pastebin.com/bEAb1LJu <br>I have installed and begun configuring Wordpress now, but I can’t access my ghost blog anymore. I guess I need to make the two installs live in harmony some way. <br> <br>http://146.185.149.30/ is the site, as it stands now.
