I'm trying to install wordpress on my nginx server by following this tutorial: http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-setup-your-own-nginx-powered-wordpress-server/

However, the last command at step 7 gave me a strange error: service nginx reload

A copy-paste from my terminal:

root@server:~# service nginx reload Reloading nginx configuration: nginx: [emerg] unexpected "o" in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/wordpress:7
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

When I nano into sites-enabled/wordpress, on the 7th line I can't find anything strange:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html class="   ">
  <head prefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns# fb: http://ogp.me/ns/fb# object: http://ogp.me/ns/object# article: http://ogp.me/ns/article# profile: http://ogp.me/ns/profile#">
    <meta charset='utf-8'>
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

Also, I don't see any obvious errors in my nginx.conf file, but maybe I'm not checking something?

The first couple of lines of the nginx config file:

user www-data;
worker_processes 4;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;

events {
        worker_connections 768;
        # multi_accept on;
}

Any help is appreciated, thanks a lot in advance!
