 +===== Modify Nginx Server Blocks =====
 +
 +If using Apache, just ignore this entire paragraph.
 +
 +We have our files and directories configured.  Now we need to modify our nginx configuration to serve the content correctly.
 +
 +We can use the default nginx server block as a base for our new server block.  Copy it over like this:
 +
 +<code bash>
 +sudo cp /etc/nginx/sites-available/default /etc/nginx/sites-available/wordpress
 +</code>
 +
 +Open the new file we made so that we can make some changes:
 +
 +<code bash>
 +sudo vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/wordpress
 +</code>
 +
 +We will want to make the following changes:
 +
 +<file nginx /etc/nginx/sites-available/wordpress>
 +server {
 +        listen 80 default_server;
 +        listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
 +
 +        root /var/www/html;
 +        index index.php index.html index.htm;
 +
 +        server_name your_domain.com;
 +
 +        location / {
 +                # try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
 +                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
 +        }
 +
 +        error_page 404 /404.html;
 +
 +        error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
 +        location = /50x.html {
 +                root /usr/share/nginx/html;
 +        }
 +
 +        location ~ \.php$ {
 +                try_files $uri =404;
 +                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
 +                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
 +                fastcgi_index index.php;
 +                include fastcgi_params;
 +        }
 +}
 +</file>
 +
 +A summary of changes that you should be making are:
 +
 +  * Change the value of the **root** directive to point to our new document root at **/var/www/html**.
 +  * Modify the **index** parameter to look for an **index.php** file before the other files.
 +  * Change the value of the **server_name** directive to point to your server's domain name or IP address.
 +  * Adjust the **try_files** within the **location /** block to send requests to PHP when they do not exactly match.
 +
 +Some of these might already be set from your LEMP installation.  When you are finished with these changes, save and close the file.
 +
 +We need to link our new file to the **sites-enabled** directory in order to activate it.  We can do that like this:
 +
 +<code bash>
 +sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/wordpress /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
 +</code>
 +
 +
 +The file we just linked conflicts with our old default file, since it borrowed so much from it.  We need to disable the old file:
 +
 +<code bash>
 +sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
 +</code>
 +
 +Now, restart the web server and PHP processor to enable our changes:
 +
 +<code bash>
 +sudo service nginx restart
 +sudo service php5-fpm restart
 +</code>
