Installing wordpress on ubuntu 14.04LTS

Question

I am trying to install wordpress locally. I tried the instructions described here. But when I point my browser to http://localhost/wordpress it turns to a 404 not found page.

Answer 1

Once check your /var/www permissions it should be:

www-data:www-data
www-data=user
www-data=group

and also:

sudo service apache2 restart

or:

sudo restart apache2
