When I add a new website, then add files via FTP, I get a 404. So I try to restart nginx, maybe that is a requirement when adding new sites. So when I try to restart nginx in Vespa, I get ""restart" "'nginx'" failed". When page reloads, nginx is greyed out and now I can't even start it. This is a fresh install on brand new Linode and the main feature, adding a website, doesn't work. I could go into CLI and restart nginx but thats defeats the purpose of this tool. Where to go from here before uninstalling?

Where do you upload your files? 404 means that the page you try to visit doesn't exist.
To check why your nginx restart is failing you need to look at the log files. Search the nginx log file in /var/log.
