#Easy Wordpress with Apache on Ubuntu

For the following instructions, I've use apache2 with ubuntu 14.04. The objective here is to setup quickly a wordpress site with a local domain name.

Create your Virtual host

Personnaly I follow this tutorial (french only). For your conf file, Copy the conf file I've uploaded.

##Setup Apache2 mod You need to enable mod_rewrite on apache to allow you to choose whatever url style you want. To do this run a2enmod rewrite then restart apache.

##Htaccess Copy the .htaccess I've uploaded. It allow you to use the mod_rewrite

##Good to go ! Now do what you want with your wordpress, everything is good :) !

.htaccess

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

site.conf
