First put a .htaccess file in your /var/www/ folder and make it writable. Second, suppose your wordpress blog is in /var/www/blog folder then go to /etc/apache2/sites-available/ and make following changes in default file

    Options +ExecCGI 
            Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
            AllowOverride All
            Order allow,deny
            allow from all


            Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
            AllowOverride All
            Order allow,deny
            allow from all

Now restart apache to make sure changes have taken effect. Hope it helps.
