Easiest way? Probably set up XAMPP @ apachefriends.org

Other than that you can use CentOS standard packages to install PHP/MySQL and such things, using 'yum' for example.

Hello Maxwell, I installed and configured for a vps in the past hence I can give you easy tips to setup what you need, follow my instructions
First, you need to nstall Apache then type the follow command
Code:
sudo yum install httpd
after running for a while it will ask you "want to install package?", press Y and Enter.
restart Apache with code
Code:
sudo service httpd start
Install MySQL for CentOS 6
Code:
sudo yum install mysql-server
Restart Mysql
Code:
sudo service mysqld start
Now you need to set password for MySQL with command:
Code:
sudo /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
Enter current password for root (enter for none):
Type your password to make changes

Install Php and MySQL, you type these codes
Code:
sudo yum install php php-mysql
Restart server for PHP
Code:
Sudo service httpd restart
Ok you finished installations for LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP).
You need to have 2 these codes to run services automatically when rebooting
Code:
sudo chkconfig httpd on 
sudo chkconfig mysqld on
Hope it helps :)

Ok, now you will login into mysql to create database
Code:
mysql -u root -p
Using your username and password
For example, you have database with information follow
Code:
Database Name: myblog
Database User: myusername
Database Password: mypassword
Create a databse
Code:
CREATE DATABASE myblog;
and creating database user
Code:
CREATE USER myusername;
Set password for my username above
Code:
SET PASSWORD FOR myusername= PASSWORD("mypassword");
Grant privileges to a database user
Code:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON myblog.* TO myusername IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';
Refresh your MySQL by command
Code:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
and finally, exit MySql
Code:
exit
You have your database name, username and password. It's easy for you to create/install blog or website with this database.
If you have any questions, let me know:)
Good luck!
