If CentOS did a reasonable work (Debian does) what you'll have to do
is just install mod_php, apache and php-mysql, mod_rewrite (last
one just on Apache 1.X?).

Then you'll have to understand where the default root of Apache is
and place there your stuff.

It may be necessary to "AllowOverride All" in apache config.

These things are so stable, I'm not a sysadmin and they became easier
and easier that I tend to avoid to remember them.
