IMPORTANT: Backup your nginx site configs (usually under /etc/nginx/sites-available)!
Remove old nginx

Remove old nginx incl. nginx-common:
apt-get autoremove --purge nginx nginx-common
Add sources list for new nginx

Create /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx.list with content:
deb http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/ubuntu/ trusty nginx
deb-src http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/ubuntu/ trusty nginx

Add nginx signing key:
wget -q -O- http://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key | sudo apt-key add -
Update package cache:
sudo apt-get update
Install new nginx

sudo apt-get install nginx
Configs

Fix /etc/nginx/nginx.conf: and add this to the end of the http section:

Set user to www-data
Set worker_processes to 4
Set tcp_nopush to on
Set tcp_nodelay to on
Set types_hash_max_size to 2048
Set server_tokens to off
Set gzip to on
Set gzip_disable to "msie6"
Add include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;

Remove /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
sudo rm -rf /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
Fix /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params:

Add fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

Add sites-* folders:
sudo mkdir /etc/nginx/sites-available /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
Add your previously backuped site configs and enable them by symlinking in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled.
