where to begin learning these things?

[White_Wolf]

I have been struggling with my forum ever since I switched to a Virtual Dedicated Server. And today I throw in the towel. I can't take it anymore, I simply don't know enough about computers to manage this thing.

So, I need to study, Apache, Linux, PHP, and SQL.

all I know is a little about HTML, and that's about it.

In what order should I study the above mentioned things?

Are there any other subjects it will be assumed I know when I start studying these things?

Can you name any places that would really be a good resource or have good structured courses on learning all this stuff.
