Installing Drupal 7.18 for local use in Ubuntu 12.10

Posted by Quantal on January 2, 2013 at 9:56pm

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

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.
