Here is How To Install Nginx PHP5-FPM on HP Cloud. HP Cloud means HP Helion Public Cloud. It is basically very easy to work with HP Cloud. People fear HP Helion Public Cloud very much.

Install Nginx PHP5-FPM on HP Cloud : Needs

 

A sane operating system like OS X or any Linux or Unix Like OS. Microsoft Windows users can use PuTTY, but basically Windows is not very safe Operating System. It is practical to dual boot with minimum Ubuntu like easy to use Linux. We are writing while using OS X 10.10 with iTerm2+ZSH+Homebrew. PuTTY and iTerm2 has no difference on running commands on remote server. Neither there is difference in Ubuntu of Rackspace and HP Cloud.

Again, please make Security Group Rules right. If you are using Default, add new Rule to make it looking like :

If you are facing lot of errors like :
