Hi Christina,
Did you put the Wordpress files in /var/www/ ? That's where Apache expects to find the default web site. If you put things in the right spot there would be an "index.php" file in /var/www/ . |

| If you are using Debian/Ubuntu, I would strongly recommend that you look at http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_debian_lamp_server - that will guide you through setting up Apache, PHP, MySQL, etc. |

FTP will probably upload files to whatever location is the home directory of the user you logged in as. It's usually /home/username, or /root in the case of the root user. (Not a good idea to log in to FTP as root, though! Create a new user with the adduser command.)
Find those files and move them to /var/www |
