On Debian Etch you would need to install apache2, php5, mysql-client, and mysql-server, and possibly others that you find helpful. In fact, if you are not using MySQL then save yourself some work and don't install it.

Well thanks for all the hints, but someone have directed med to this:
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html

Which is exactly what I wanted :-)

It works perfectly here!

All I want is something simple just to show if my php-sites has the perfect setup before uploading it, thats all.

I dont have all the knowledge in setting up a webserver from scratch and this one works very well for me :-)

That is understandable. It may be worth it to try setting one up sometime. If just for the practice.

I am also surpised that XAMPP properly intsalls itself in /opt/ rather than spewing itself everyware and confusing the package management system. (A common problem with installing pre-compiled software for Linux by a means other than the disto's package management system.
