It depends to a degree on the details of how you installed WordPress 
[that is using apt-get/Synaptic/etc or downloading zip file from 
wordpress.org].
For that I suggest searching the Subject line of this group for about 
the last 5 years.

Some links that this Debian & WordPress newbie has found enlightening:
https://wiki.debian.org/WordPress

If apt-get/Synaptic/etc used for installation
http://localhost ["Apache2 Debian Default Page"]
/usr/share/doc/wordpress/README.Debian
