Is there any way to harness the power of Apache, MySQL and PHP present in Fedora 14 (F14) and to use it as Local Webserver for building Websites and to view it in F14's default Web Browser (Mozzila Firefox), if so, then what are the procedures need to be followed or to be done.

Any of the Linux distributions, including Fedora, are quite capable of running Apache + MySQL + PHP, commonly referred to as a LAMP server. While I typically resist saying, "just Google it", how to documentation on setting this up is already very prevalent and will be more complete than the instructions you will get in response to a forum question. Here is a link to get you started from a well known source.

Sorry for the delayed reply. I have followed the link "http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-apache2-with-php5-and-mysql-support-on-fedora-14-lamp" but unable to set up Apache, MySQL and PHP present in Fedora 14 (F14) and to use it as Local Webserver for building Websites and to view it in F14's default Web Browser (Mozzila Firefox). Is there any easy method for newbie like me to do this.

rdtech25,

what is that you didn't understood in the link provided by noway2 ? It is the easiest method to do it. You just have to open terminal and execute those commands as it is.

Unfortunately I don't think you will find anything easier that instructions that say yum install <desired application>, which is what the link provides. I take your comment about being unable to install it to mean that you ran into trouble. If you would please elaborate on the difficulties you are having we will try to help you resolve them.
