404 Not Found Error when trying to access localhost on local LAMP server

Question

I\'m running Ubuntu. My Apache2 default file looks like this:

        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

        DocumentRoot /var/www         


        

Answer 1

Do you have the PHP module installed and enabled? Because, normally, it would mention that in the server signature, but yours doesn't. That would also explain why the server doesn't recognize that index.php is what you mean by /.

Try

sudo a2enmod php5
