I recommend you spend some time at howtoforge and use their instructions to build this server. IMO your current appreoch will end in tears... unless you're making copious notes and are going to start again from scratch using them. Failing that, the first link searching google for 'ubuntu lamp installation hardy' tells you everything you need. Unless you insist on redesigning the wheel that is.
