To get the basics started you can follow these commands : Ensure the system is up to date.

dnf -y update

Install Apache

dnf -y install httpd

Enable and start the service

systemctl enable --now httpd

Allow access to port 80 through the firewall

firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp --permanent

Reload the firewall with the new rule

firewall-cmd --reload

Install mysql

dnf -y install mysql-server mysql

Enable and start it

systemctl enable --now mysqld

then type this command and follow the prompts to secure the installation.

mysql_secure_installation

By default, a MySQL installation has an anonymous user,
allowing anyone to log into MySQL without having to have
a user account created for them. This is intended only for
testing, and to make the installation go a bit smoother.
You should remove them before moving into a production
environment.

Remove anonymous users? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : y
Success.

Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from
'localhost'. This ensures that someone cannot guess at
the root password from the network.

Disallow root login remotely? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : y
Success.

By default, MySQL comes with a database named 'test' that
anyone can access. This is also intended only for testing,
and should be removed before moving into a production
environment.

Remove test database and access to it? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : y
 - Dropping test database...
Success.

 - Removing privileges on test database...
Success.

Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes
made so far will take effect immediately.

Reload privilege tables now? (Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No) : y
Success.

All done!

Now install PHP

dnf -y install php php-mysqlnd php-cli

and restart apache to enable it

systemctl restart httpd.service

Create a test php file

nano /var/www/html/test.php

And put this in it, and save the file.

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

No go to your server IP address /test.php

http://192.168.0.252/test.php

And you should see this
