You will only need php installed if you want a php based forum. You proabbly don;t need phpmyadmin either unless you want to modify the database directly.

I would take a look at:
http://www.phpbb.com/

An the documentation:

So I don't need to install apache if I installed the webserver and MySQL DB during the install of Linux?

Apache is the webserver installed by RedHat if you chose to install it.

As root run:
chkconfig httpd on
service httpd restart
chkconfig mysqld on
service mysqld restart

This will set the services to run on each boot and also start them immediately. Once that is done try and access your server via http://ip.of.web.server/

You can also check your php configuration by creating a phpinfo page and accessing that.

Cool, that worked! Thank you.

How do I change the default website?

How do I go about updating MySQL? And, now all I have to do is install php?

Change the default website? If you make a page called index.html in /var/www/html then that will be the default page for your site.

Updating mysql? You mean to a newer version?

Thanks, but I already have the d/ls. I tried running the updates
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache2.php

And it would not work....

Maybe this will help: http://24.54.29.40/phpinfo.php (This is off my box)
