I want to install Apache and PHP (and MySQL) on my Linux box. Are there any good tutorials on doing this? I'm really a total noob with Linux and just want to use it for development (right now, at least).
Any suggestions, links, etc?

I found instructions for Apache on how to install it on Unix and Windows. Would a Unix installation be the same for Linux?Quote:

doesn't php.net have a installation guide?
edit: usually, a unix installation will work for installing on linux.
lol sorry as i said, ima complete linux noob :blush:
I updated my distribution the other day, and it came with Apache, PHP and MySQL, so I'm good now.
That's what I was going to ask, which distro you have.
As for the other people here, Linux is one of many Unix-like operating systems. They all comply more or less to the POSIX standard, so installing on one should work on all of them.
Linux is a special case though, as most distros have their own way of installing things. In RPM-based stuff (RedHat, SuSE, Mandrake) I'd get the rpms and install them. In Debian I'd use apt-get to install apache and php. In Gentoo, I'd use emerge. Etc.
