Ubuntu 10.10 Wordpress server

[stefanjan]

Is there an idiots guide anywhere for installing LAMP & Wordpress in a Linux GUI environment.

I just need a development enviroment which is visible on the Internet for fellow club members.

Currently our website is built in Frontpage and hosted on a Windows Server.

Need to build a new Wordpress website on a development environment for testing before we go live on Linux.

All the documentation I have seen is around building a web server using command line. Having used a Windows GUI interface for quite a few decades I'm a bit reluctant to contemplate that.

I have installed Ubuntu 10.10, Apache, MySQL and PHP on my laptop, dual boot with Windows Vista. And got the local test working OK.

But how do I take the next steps:

- Install Wordpress
- Expose Server to the outside world
- Deal with security issues
- Other considerations?

Here is something on Wordpress:

If you want to go public, it might be worth considering a web hotel and only use your own server for development.
