Those softwares should come with your Linux distribution. What's your distribution? And, there is a possibility that they are already installed on your Linux box. Use the following command to find out:

rpm -qa | grep -i httpd
rpm -qa | grep -i mysql
rpm -qa | grep -i php

Go to http://www.apache.org to get apache.
Also http://dag.wieers.com/ to get all sorts of packages.

See a package call XAMPP, it stands for Apache, Mysql, PHP and Perl...
It's setup to install all the above packages on Unix/Linux/Windows...
Use this if you choose 'desktop' during your package install...

See and IBM article http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-xampp/?ca=dgr-lnxw02XAMPP

or download at: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

Hi Taulant,

you can also dowload sources and compile them, don't be afraid of that !;-)

example for apache
./configure --enable-so --prefix=/usr/local/httpd-2.0.43

(prefix means dir where install will be done)

make
make install

example for PHP
./configure --with-mysql --with-oracle=/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/ --with-
apxs2=/usr/local/httpd-2.0.43/bin/apxs --enable-dba --enable-memory-limit --
enable-sigchild --with-oci8=/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/ --with-gd --with-zlib

(if you do not have oracle, exclude oracle parameters)

make
make install

restart apache and that's all
