Roland,

Take a look at XAMPP <http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html>.

 From the site:

"XAMPP is an easy to install Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP 
and Perl. XAMPP is really very easy to install and to use - just 
download, extract and start."

It's as simple as they say it is to install, and it's easy to get rid of 
if you don't like it.  I use it on all of my FC3 machines as a quick and 
easy way to get Apache, MySQL, PHP, and Perl to *just work* together.  
Just last week I setup the Mantis bugtracking software in very little 
time by dropping it on top of an existing XAMPP installation, so 
hopefully you'd have the same luck with moregroupware.

There are two things to keep in mind:

1) Prior to installing XAMPP you may want to uninstall or disable your 
existing Apache and MySQL installations.
2) XAMPP is designed for development, so the default configuration is 
very insecure.  If you'll be exposing your server to the internet, take 
a look at this to lock it down first 
<http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html#381>.

I hope you find this helpful,
