Hi,
For web server in linux...the most popular must be apache
. you can download it from

http://www.apache.org

For mySQL..u can download from

http://www.mysql.com

u can find all the download instruction to install from the documentation page.....u just follow the instruction and it will make it

You may well find that Apache was installed by default on your system when you installed Linux - see if there is a /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file - this is the configuration file that you need to edit to get Apache working. You start Apache with /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start (and stop with a similar statement but with stop at the end!).

If you are using a RedHat/rpm based system, as root type
rpm -qa|grep apache
rpm -qa|grep -i mysql
rpm -qa|grep mod_
rpm -qa|grep php

Each of these commands will list all packages installed matching the string after the grep command (the -i switch tells grep to match case insensitive as mysql can be MySQL, mysql, Mysql, etc)

If these are not installed, go to rpmfind.net and grab the latest and greatest for your distibution
