well... you can start by installing apache, and you'll want to do something more like fluxbox for your wm. Enlightenment is beautiful, but if this is JUST a server, and you HAVE to put a wm on it... fluxbox is the way to go (minimal resources/compiling time/etc...).
and this post will probably answer the rest of your questions:

Here's a quick rundown. 
In /etc/make.conf (assuming you want the following)
| Code: |
USE="apache2 mysql perl php ssh crypt xml xml2"
|
Then install what you need:
| Code: |
emerge mysql
emerge apache
emerge php
emerge mod_php
|
Once that's all installed, set up your MySQL server. Then you can run the mod_php ebuild to install PHP support in Apache.
| Code: |
mysql_install_db
ebuild /var/db/pkg/net-www/*your mod_php dir*/mod_php-versionx.x.ebuild config
|
Next, go into your /etc/apache2/conf/apache2.conf and add any info you need.
Finally, start the services and put a little php script inside the /var/www/localhost/htdocs folder. Something easy like | Code: | | <?php echo "I WIN!"; ?> |
. If the page loads correctly in your browser, PHP is good to go. Start adding content in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/.
