 * Hello,
    my name is Marko and I’m new to the forum. I have a question about wordpress
   installation and update.
 * I have installed wamp on windows and I have installed wordpress 3.1.3 succesfully
   without problems.
    Then when I went to the dashboard I have seen that there was
   an update to 3.1.4. and I have automatically updated wordpress to 3.1.4.again
   without any problems.
 * Then I decided to switch from wamp in Windows to Ubuntu Server installed in a
   VMware VM.
 * I have installed apache, mysql, phpmyadmin and webmin to manage the server.
 * I then downloaded the wordpress archive and copied in the /var/www directory 
   and started the installation.
 * Immediately wordpress told me that can’t create wp-config.php file so then I 
   have reated and uploaded manually the wp-config.php file and installed wordpress
   without problems.
 * Then I have tried to update to 3.1.4 from dashboard but I have to put the details
   of the ftp server to proceed to the update.
 * So now, my question is: this is my first wordpress installation, is this a normal
   behavior in a Linux server?
 * I have ever managed my linux server with plesk and I never had problems and this
   is my first time that I manage a linux server from webmin.
 * Surely I’m doing something wrong right?
 * Thanks to anyone that will help me.
