Did you copy the script from the tutorial, or did you type it manually? In the latter case you probably made a typo somewhere...
I installed ubuntu server as per your tutorial then installed a desktop, found your tutorial again and cut and pasted from browser to terminal, only changes i made were where you used the IP 198.168.0.100 i used my actual IP, netmask, gateway etc.
