if you want to try to do it yourself, you will need to install mod_rewrite, which is a module for Apache (web server). this thread from stackoverflow might be helpful to you: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17745310/how-to-enable-mod-rewrite-in-lamp-on-ubuntu

I think the reason that some people would like to install OSSN on a LAMP server rather than use the VM image is that they use some hosting provider which gives them remote access (rather than local access), meaning installing VMware (or similar) and then using it to start an image is not the most practical thing. In this case, the easiest thing would be to contact Softlab24 and request a custom installation, I think they have an option to do this for around $50 USD.

Why stressing yourself with setting up a LAMP server correctly?
For testing purposes have a look into the Ossn demo communities or run the Ossn virtual image instead. See
