Maybe you should install the following software first.
sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
sudo apt-get install mysql-client
sudo apt-get install php5
sudo apt-get install php5-gd
sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
and then, you should configure you server. 1, Test apache, open you browser, and enter 127.0.0.1, if "It Works!" appears, okay. 2, Test php, create a file under /var/www, and name is "index.php", the content is:
save and open the url "127.0.0.1/index.php", the php info should appear, if not, make sure you have proper permission.
3, Configure and test you phpmyadmin. first, run as root,
sudo -i #run as root cd /etc/apache2/conf.d
and then create a file named "phpmyadmin-web.conf" or other you like, and the content of the file is:
Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin
AllowOverride All
finally, you also should make a symbol link:
sudo ln -s /var/www/phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin
then restart you apache server
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Now, you can use your ubuntu as a lamp server.

I'm new in server-side programming. I need lampp and mysql running on my computer. I have installed mysql using tasksel lamp-server, and then install php with apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 phpmyadmin. And now I have now ideas how to use them. In xampp on Windows I needed only to copy my php files in htdocs directory. How to run php files in Linux and connect them to my MySQL?
