& Test it
sudo vi /var/www/html/info.php
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Browse to http://ServerAddress/ & you should see the default page.
Browse to http://ServerAddress/info.php & you should see a whole bunch of info about your PHP subsystem.
Set up at least one user in mysql
sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE USER 'someone'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; EXIT;
(Hint: This'd be a good time to create yourself as that user with your non-admin password of choice...)
