Need a tutorial to install WordPress on a VPS from scratch
Hello guys!
I have a VPS that I do not fully use and I since I just bought a .com domain I was quite interested in combining the two things.
Do you have/know any tutorial/how-to that would help me in building a webserver (with WordPress) on a VPS with Ubuntu 14.04 (server)?
Thanks ;-)

apt-get install nginx mysql-server unzip cd PATH_TO_YOUR_NGINX_HTTP_ROOT wget https://wordpress.org/latest.zip unzip latest.zip mv wordpress/* .
Create the database and setup wordpress via the setup wizard

@Traffic forgot to install php5-fpm and to enable it in nginx/vhost but yeh. That is basically it. Unless his OS does that automatically?
Ouch. Yes, as @4n0nx said, also install php5-fpm and enable it.
All right, thank you very much for your time and help
If you want to do that on Debian (i didn't test with ubuntu) you can use my script:

Just click from one to ...and you are done. But maybe Hiawatha is not best solution for you if you don't know much about servers.
