If you do not want to compile Apache, PHP, MySQL and other stuff, there is a very easy way to get the whole web-server thing going. First thing you have to do is download XAMPP from here for your favourite OS (Linux, Windows, Solaris, Mac OS X). Then simply follow the installation instructions on the website (It is really simpler than anything, for all you have to do is extract the archive). Finally, you will have a webserver with Apache, PHP, MySQL, FTP-server, an accelerator, and everything that might be enabled. It also has a web-configuration tool that allows you to set passwords for everything through your favourite browser. Amazing package for home networks and local webservers.
