  • Make sure you have packages php5-mysql, libapache2-mod-php5, libapache2-modxslt
    
  • Make mysql user and database, for example:

  CREATE USER 'wordpress'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';
  GRANT FILE ON *.* TO 'wordpress'@'localhost';
  CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS wordpressmu;
  GRANT ALL ON wordpressmu.* TO 'wordpress'@'localhost';
