What next after downloading WordPress in Linux Mint17.2?

On your local installaion your can try to open a browser and try these URL

– https://127.0.0.1/
– https://127.0.0.1/wordpress

Thank you cthomasfr, for coming.

I did as suggested by you.

The first link opened the Ubuntu Logo Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page.

But the second link sent back the following error;

“Not Found
The requested URL /wordpress was not found on this server.
Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) Server at 127.0.0.1 Port 80″

I did the installation as suggested in the following link,

https://blogmetric.org/howto-setup-wordpress-locally-on-linux-using-lamp/

Everything went as suggested till “#3. Setting Up WordPress”, step. As suggested there, I clicked on the link https://localhost/wordpress, but there too I got an error as belows;

“Not Found
The requested URL /wordpress was not found on this server.
Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80″

How to resolve this?

Thank you cthomasfr, for your helping hand.

Regards

Hello everybody,

I tried many measures suggested on the Internet but the issue was not resolved. Now I found a link where it was suggested that one command will install whatever is necessary to install wordpress. The command is as below;

sudo apt-get install lamp-server^

So I tried that, But I got the following error.

~ $ sudo apt-get install lamp-server^

It seems the lamp-server package is install.

But for the WordPress package, it looks like it isn’t setting the mysql database creation, apaches virtualhost,…

As Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu, I imagine you can follow the instructions at this url:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WordPress

These messages suggests that your system is with package conflicts between different versions of apache and mysql.

Hello everybody,

I removed everything by the following commands.

sudo apt-get purge apache2
sudo apt-get purge php5
sudo apt-get purge mysql-server
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove

And then tried to install apache2-mpm-prefork through synaptic, but I got the following error in the image below.

The apache2 package was not available to mark for installation?

Thanks for coming, Nathan Rodriguez.

Then how to make it available?

I don’t know how to add repositories. Could you please help?

Thanks for your concern.

Regards
