I currently have a VPS with NGINX and Ghost installed. I wanted to configure a secondary blog with Wordpress. I followed the tutorial outlined here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-wordpress-with-nginx-on-ubuntu-14-04

Everything went well as I was able to keep my Ghost site running, however when I try to access the Wordpress site to finish the install I keep getting 404 Not found.

The tail end of my error.log for nginx shows this:
