sudo bash /usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples/setup-mysql -n wordpress blog.example.com

backup
sudo cp /etc/apache2/apache2.conf /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.bak

run
sudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

paste
########## Without using Virtual host, hosted off /blog
Alias /blog /usr/share/wordpress
<directory /usr/share/wordpress>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride Limit Options FileInfo
DirectoryIndex index.php
</directory>

restart
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

run
sudo bash /usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples/setup-mysql -n wordpress localhost

go to
http://localhost/blog (or your virtual host) and wordpress will walk you through the rest of the setup.

when all else fails goto (the answer will be clear)

sudo /etc/wordpress/config-localhost.php
