Hi!
well the thing about learning linux is that if i show you step by step how to do what you need, then! whats the meaning about learning linux, dont get me wrong i want to help you,but i will be helping you more if let you do it by your self.

www.mysql.com read the installation notes
http://www.apache.org/ read the installation notes

first of all you got to have the packages that you need to the services can run.

mysql
apache server
php

its going to take you a while but youare going to learn alot, trust me i already went thru that.

its not that hard you just have to read alot. good luck.

install mysql, apache with mod_php, php with mysql module. ( should default )

copy the files to the /var/www/html/ folder
at console:

mysqld
create dbname
.....
( same as creating in windows version of mysql )

or, take a db dump with inserts, install phpmyadmin and run the dump as an sql query with it.
that will create the db exactly as you have it.
the php scripts should have the connection to mysql and the db already coded in them. [ if you built them right ]

make sure mysql and apache start at boot.

all done, it should be serving the pages from the script if you have installed everything correctly.
