I'm trying to install the newest Drupal to use it as test server in my Ubuntu 12.10 computer. I found this guide, but I got a problem. Everything went fine until I tried to open page http://localhost/drupal7/install.php. I got the following error message:

Not Found
The requested URL /drupal7/install.php was not found on this server.

If I try to open the file from File Manager, Firefox tries to open the file with itself, but it again tries to open PHP file with itself. This continues forever. What should I do?

http://www.techlw.com/2012/08/install-drupal-715-on-ubuntu.html may be a better tutorial to follow. 10.04 is pretty old at this point.

Where are you installing Drupal? I would suggest placing it in your home folder and changing your default httpd.conf file to reflect the new location that is not /var/www.

look at /etc/apache2/mods-aviable/userdir.conf
and /etc/apache2/mods-aviable/php5.conf

You also could try a preconfigured Drupal envireonment to not waste time with drupal installation and set up. You could find a good one at Drubuntu.
