I followed these steps, taken from James Tansley, on this post https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-wordpress-on-ubuntu-12-04
1. Go to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ directory. To do this, type "cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/" without the quotes.
2. Open the dir.conf file so you can edit it. To do this, type "sudo nano dir.conf" without the quotes.
3. You will see a line of index files (index.html, index.php, index.cgi, etc) under the DirectoryIndex setting. Add index.php as the first item in the list. Doing so will tell Apache to first look for and load an index.php file before looking for the other index file extensions.
4. Press Ctrl+X to save your changes and then press Enter to exit the editor.
5. Restart Apache by typing "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart" without the quotes.
