    Hi, I’ve been
   setting up wordpress by following this tutorial: [https://www.wpexplorer.com/locally-install-wordpress-on-ubuntu/](https://www.wpexplorer.com/locally-install-wordpress-on-ubuntu/)
   and I’ve gotten stuck at part 3, configuring wordpress. When go to localhost/
   wordpress I get this error 404 message: Not Found The requested URL /wordpress
   was not found on this server.
 * Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80.
 * I have no idea why this is hapening, I have everything previously stated in the
   tutorial done. If anyone could be of any help that would be much appreciated.

 * If you check the file on your pc info.php inside the var folder and inside the
   www folder exists?
