Sounds like your install is not installed correctly.

The reason I'm thinking I need a database for each webpage is that I created a link to the webpage's location in /var/www in an experiment to be able to not store the page in /var/www but rather in ~/Documents/<etc> . Then when I went to the admin page it wanted to setup joomla again.

Mike,
It appears you are thinking a DB is a physical thing like a static webpage. It is physical in that it resides on your file system, however it is not like a static webpage.
Take a look at these tutorials http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/tutorial.html. They should help you understand the what and how of databases, specifically MySql.
Here is some PHP info on how to work with MySql databases http://www.php.net/manual/en/set.mysqlinfo.php.
I would recommend understanding the basics before trying to install Joomla on your local LAMP install.

I was thinking..... Do you need to create a new database for every new website? If so I think I need to chown the database or maybe add it to a group.

why is it asking for database info?! oh bother.well I tried to create a database but this is the error it gives:
An error occurred while trying to create the database onlineworkfinder.us.
The user may not have enough privileges to create a database. The required database may need to be created separately before you can install Joomla!.
So please, what do I need to do. Should I chown something? If so, what? :-)~MIKE~(-:
