I guess you're trying to deploy wordpress on a LAMP stack.
There are some prerequisites:
open your terminal and
run this commands to install the server:
sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
​sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
run this commands to install php:
sudo apt-get install php7.0 php7.0-mysql libapache2-mod-php7.0 php7.0-cli php7.0-cgi php7.0-gd
Then you have to create a database like this:
CREATE DATABASE wpdb;
​GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wpdb.* TO 'USERNAME'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'ADMIN_PASSWORD';
​FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
​EXIT;
and finally get and install wordpress:
wget -c http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
​​tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz
sudo mv wordpress /var/www/html
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/wordpress
​ sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/wordpress
and rename the config file
cd /var/www/html/wordpress
​ sudo mv wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php
restart the server:
sudo systemctl restart apache2.service
​ sudo systemctl restart mysql.service
and voila', wordpress is ready to be served
