# Ubuntu 8.10 Install / index.php

 * I’ve installed mysql, apache2 and wp on an ubuntu 8.10 computer, and mysql and
   apache2 report as healthy. I can log into the local wp-admin, but when I try 
   to visit “my site”, firefox tries to download a .part file and reports an error.
   Has anyone else experienced this problem? File permissions for /var/www/wordpress/*
   are set to r/w/e for the mysql and wordpress user. Thanks in advance for any 
   assistance! kk

 * With firefox, i try to go to [http://127.0.0.1/wordpress](http://127.0.0.1/wordpress).
   The page stays blank, but a new tab opens with the address file:///tmp/zXtoQva_.
   phtml-1.part and the download of that file begins. The file changes every time,
   but always ends with .part. This leads me to believe that I didn’t uncompress
   it correctly. When I uncompressed the wordpress archive, I moved it to /var/www
   and ran “sudo tar -xzvf wordpress-2.7.1.tar.gz”. firefox properly displays the
   following: [http://127.0.0.1/wordpress/wp-admin/admin](http://127.0.0.1/wordpress/wp-admin/admin)
   and I can log on okay.
