Hey, I have the same exact setup and let me tell you how easy it is.
1) go to freshrpm's.net and find yourself "apt"
2)install apt
3) type this:
#]apt-get install apache
#]apt-get install php-mysql
and you should have all 3 packages installed and running within minutes. You can, and should also, use the front-end to "APT" which is synaptic:
]#apt-get install synaptic.
The problem is The system at my room (I am putting in an hostel) is not having internet connection, so I need to do what is within the system. Now,
Can you help in that scenerio ?

So it's never going to be on the 'net? If you are posting from a computer on the net now, and the machine is near you, use the method I said. if you can't do that, head to freshrpms and find yourself an apache 2.0.47 (newest?) and php-mysql package, put it on cd and install that way. Let me know if I got that wrong.
