I have a strong preference for using my distro's packages when available
rather than 3rd party products. In your case, that would be Ubuntu's
Apache, either MySQL or MariaDB, and PHP, installed and tested in that
order. This combination is called LAMP.
I haven't had opportunity to set up a LAMP server on Ubuntu, but perhaps
the notes I took when doing it on Mandriva will help you get going:
