Steps needed to set up a web server Apache in Ubuntu desktop


Hello!

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 desktop ed. I'm about to set up LAMP. I wonder what would be the correct order of steps that should be taken. I've alredy got a static IP from my ISP.

My idea would be as such:
1) To set up a static IP in Ubuntu and router. To cancel DHCP in both Ubuntu and the router;
2) To configure a Firewall in Ubuntu;
3) To update registrar's DNS entries for my domain name (hostname). I already has both the registrar and my site's domain name. To input my ISP's two DNS servers' IP's and to update my hostname's A record by inputting my static IP into it. Probably I should also update other records if needed CNAME for www. and MX for MTA;
4) To install LAMP stack (I would need HTTPS, so do I need to make sure that Open SSL is being installed too OR it's done automatically by default?);
5) To place my script's files (in my case it's Joomla) into an approprate Apache's folder (probably www, I think);
6) To set up SSL on Apache.

it seems you have already listed all the steps?

of course, between here and there there's a lot of documentation to read and maybe not everything will work on first attempt.

it makes me wonder whether it wouldn't be better to install something more suitable for server use from scratch - like i did with a debian netinstall image. it's dead simple, you just tick ssh and web-server, and after a reboot it's running already...
