The Steps:
<B>Step 1: Download MySQL, Apache, and PHP</B>
Your first task is to download each of the packages. The following sites will have the source code avaliable to you. Make sure you download the SOURCE CODE (It will be in a .tar.gz file).
PHP: <a href="http://www.php.net/downloads.php">http://www.php.net</a>.
MySQL: <a href="http://www.mysql.com/downloads/index.html">http://www.mysql.com</a>.
Apache: <a href="http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/">httpd.apache.org</a>.
Download the versions you need. You should end up with these files (with your versions).

<B>Step 2: Untar the files (Unzip)</B>
Some people will tell you to place the source code into a directly controlled by the root user. I don't care, I'll stick into the home directory. You can use any method to untar the files, I used KDE's build in extractor program. Use the GUI whenever you can. If you want to do it by the command line type this in (assuming your using the same versions as I am):
<tt># tar xfz php-4.2.0.tar.gz
# tar xfz apache_1.3.20.tar.gz
# tar xfz mysql-3.23.43.tar.gz</tt>
Either way, you should end up with 3 folders with the source code. It will look something like this:

<B>Step 3: Become root</B>
Open up the Konsole or command line, whatever you call it. type <tt># su</tt> and then enter your password for root. You'll be doing everything from this command line now.
