 * The reason I believe it is an issue with permission is the problems stemming 
   from it.
 * Prior to me installing WordPress I used the server for basic web hosting. I used
   DigitalOcean’s install guide for Ubuntu 14.04 and followed the steps to a T.
 * Ubuntu 14.04 – Apache2 (latest), PHP (latest) mySQL
 * I am not able to do the following:
 *  View new pages I publish.
    -I have tried changing permalinks and changing/fixing
   permissions with .htaccess.
 *  Customize theme
    -I will go to the page and the sidebar with options show up
   but the theme on the right does not.
 *  Update
    -The updater fails when copying index.php???
 * Please help me with this issue, I have searched and spent most of the day looking
   for a solution(s) and having found nothing that worked.

 * Have you made sure all the permissions are set correctly?

 * I fixed the issue by copying the index.php file from the main installer and then
   I changed the the owner.
