# restart nginx server and php5-fpm
sudo service nginx restart
# You should see OK for the last command or you screwed up
# To view nginx log do the following
tail -f /var/log/nginx/error.log

sudo service php5-fpm restart

For local http://torelay.app url to work

sudo nano /etc/hosts
# add this line
127.0.0.1       torelay.app

Install TOR on your machine

sudo apt-get install tor
# TOR configurations
sudo nano /etc/tor/torrc
# Make sure you have this line
RunAsDaemon 1
ControlPort 9051
CookieAuthentication 1
# restart tor service
sudo service tor restart

Ensure TOR runs on boot

sudo apt-get install rcconf
sudo rcconf

The web server user 'www-data' needs sudo

This may weaken your security. A good idea is to run your webserver as another user other than www-data

sudo visudo
# Add the following end of file:
www-data ALL = NOPASSWD : ALL
# Save and exit
