My notes on getting a Joomla install going on Ubuntu Server 14.04
Run Tasksel to install unzip and LAMP stack
sudo -s
aptitude install --with-recommends unzip
tasksel
Select LAMP Server and click OK. You will be prompted to enter a password for the ‘root’ user for MySQL. Remember what you entered for later.
Create a database in MySql for Joomla to use
mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE joomlaDb;
CREATE USER joomlauser;
SET PASSWORD FOR joomlauser = PASSWORD(“joomlapassword”);
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON joomlaDb.* TO joomlauser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY ‘joomlapassword’;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit
Download and unpack Joomla
wget http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsrelease/19393/158832/Joomla_3.3.0-Stable-Full_Package.zip
mkdir /var/www/html/joomla
unzip -q Joomla_3.3.0-Stable-Full_Package.zip -d /var/www/html/joomla
chown -R www-data.www-data /var/www/html/joomla/
Fire up a web browser and hit the joomla site you just setup to finalize the configuration

Folow the on screen instructions.
Hi There,
Your guide is surely brief and to the point.
I just checked in here because I was unsure if I was doing it right this time around.
I recently installed ubuntu 13.10 on my computer. Configured everything like I used to. However, I get a blank page for Joomla Installation. It has never happened to me before and have been sctatching my head and pulling some hair out since about a couple of hours.
Any idea what could be wrong?
