You're using the Debian WP package? I recently went through the same trouble.
Look at the README that came with the .deb. In there are 3 (IIRC) ways to
make the Debian package work with Apache.
Debian puts the code in /usr/share, and the configs in /etc/wordpress. It's
somewhat different from the way WP wants to do it.
The one I used had to do with creating an alias in the main Apache2 config.
Worked like a champ.
Don't pay any attention to what WP says. Not much, anyway.
I wanted to use the .deb so I'd get updates and fixes from the Debian repos.
