Wordpress on Ubuntu user edition

Follow these instructions for LAMP

To enable user directories in apache do:

sudo a2enmod userdir

Edit /etc/php5/apache2/php5.conf

As my ISP blocks incoming port 80 requests I need to run a virtual host on a higher port.

edit /etc/apache2/ports.conf to add

NameVirtualHost *:61112
Listen 61112

Then enable rewrite commands in .htaccess for nice permalinks

sudo a2enmod rewrite
