Suse 10.1, Suse 11.0, LAMP and Joomla

I am in Kampala, Uganda and trying to setup a web server at our organisation. We want to be able to host our websites which are made using CMS - Joomla. We are using suse 10.1, 11.0 and already have a mail system based on postfix running on it. Joomla requires LAMP. I read an online tutorial - HowTo: Configure a Linux Apache Web Server on openSUSE 10.x and 11.x (including SSI and CGI)(http://opensuse.swerdna.org/suseapache.html), the problem is it doesnt cover the MySQL and PHP. Can you help me direct me in the right direction.

We have a global IP address and a registered domain name. A web hosting company used to host our site now we want to host it ourselves are there any additional things/stuff we need to do to host the site - like submission of IP address to DNS servers. How is all that done?

Best Regards

The easy way is to install LAMP from YAST.
YAST->software management->Patterns-> WEB and LAMP server.

It mean , you are going to use a dedicated server. there is not much things to do. Setup your server. You need a fix IP for that.Your ISP will provide that for you. Setup your router in a local network to listen to the correct IP from outside.
