How to I setup a local Wordpress site?

http://askubuntu.com – I want to create a site based on Wordpress that is only accessible from my own machine (localhost). In other words, I do not want my computer to be a server. I just want it to have all the files necessary for a website in /var/www/, so that I can later copy-paste those files an another machine which will be a server. Therefore I installed the wordpress package and I am about to install a graphical interface to manage the files. What should I do? Do I need somthing called LAMP? I have seen this question on WordPress Answers, but I wonder if someone could provide instructions that are more Ubu (HowTos)

I've got a LAMP server available from http://91.xxx.xx.xx/ (just an example IP address), and I'd like to install Wordpress there.

I've gone as far as doing a simple sudo apt-get install wordpress to install Wordpress, but I'm not too sure about the set of best-practice steps after that.

I've read the documentation to install Wordpress in the Ubuntu wiki, but it is out-of-date.

My Ubuntu 10.04 LTS VPS has been hacked, probably via a WordPress site.

I was alerted to it when I noticed the incoming traffic was unusually high.

A WordPress site was littered with eval(base64_decode(...)) code in lots of files.

I have recently installed WordPress on my Ubuntu Server and prepared a website which I now would like to share with people external to my network. Whenever I try to access my server via my public IP or through DynDNS, I get the standard LAMP response: "It Works!".

I have a WordPress install and I'm wonder what is generally best practice when it comes to back up. I'm asking here instead of WordPress.stackexchange as this question is not only a WordPress question but a general backup question.

Is it okay to NOT Backup files that won't change.

tyring to set up wildcard subdomains for wordpress 3 on localhost in Ubuntu 11 and no idea how to go about debugging this. Wordpress and wildcards seem to be set up correctly. If I create /var/www/domain/test.domain then that subdomain works. The wordpress network settings are working on their end, with all the network options available and can create a new site.

I was trying to move my wordpress installation (done from apt-get) to another folder and manage it myself, so I apt-get remove'd wordpress. Later I decided to apt-get install it again, but after I did, visiting the site errored out with a Error establishing a database connection.

So I thought I'd check if the db is gone. I opened mysql on the command prompt and did show databases;.

I've installed everything that is needed by Wordpress i.e. nginx 1.2.5 (built from source on /usr/local/nginx), php-fpm with other php packages and mysql via apt-get. I downloaded wordpress-3.4.2.zip and extracted it in /usr/local/nginx/html/blog. I've created MySQL database for wordpress with all privileges.
