Hi Darryl Tidd,
I have the same problem today. As I'm a complete beginner in Ubuntu, as well
as in Linux, but I worked before in WinXP environment well with LAMP, I
didn't know how to solve the problem.
I tried once again installing apache2 and PHP as it is suggested here:
http://www.mysql-apache-php.com/,
but I installed also Mysql before testing everything. Afterwards the problem
gone?! I'm experimenting with Ubuntu and I've reinstalled it in last few
days few times, and this problem with LAMP appeared only today. Thus I
really don't know why this happened.

Cheers, Tereza
