I get 404 error for http://localhost/drupal/install.php so must be something wrong with LAMP, although I have no idea what.

    I have installed Drupal 7 into Ubuntu 14.04, following instructions
    from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Drupal

    I got as far as the bit that says Complete the Drupal Installation
    through a Browser
    and clicked on the links for install.php but in Firefox all I get is
    404 not found.

    I tried just entering /var/www/drupal/install.php and then Firefox
    found the file but a dialog box popped up asking me what to do with
    the file, rather than allowing me to continue with the drupal
    installation. It suggested opening it with gedit.

    I am not sure if I did it all correctly in installing or setting up
    localhost properly, as the instructions were not entirely clear nor
    complete on that page.

    So how do I get this to work so I can have a working Drupal 7
    installation?


Is apache running and do you get a page when you go to http://localhost
in Firefox?

If so, then try http://localhost/drupal/install.php. If that doesn't
work then something isn't working with your LAMP setup.
