Seriously?
apt-get install apache2

To install CloudStack, they need to know
- DB installation, perhaps some SQL
- VLAN configuration on their switches
- Ins-and-outs between port forwarding, static ips,
- NFS
- package management
- VHDs, qcow2. vmdk
- hyperviosrs
- and on and on.

If they can figure all that out and not figure out a web server, they can
always come to the mailing list.
