configuring Mac OS X to be used as a server

I have an Apple PowerBook G3 running OS x. I would like to set this up as a starging server for a PHP and mySQL DB. I have already enabled "web sharing". I have read that I should upgrade to the latest build of Apache and PHP, but can't seem to figure out how. I was looking at WebMonkey's OS X aritcle, but got lost when they were updating PHP and Apache. I somehow don't think I have the correct privilages since it was denying the "wget" command in the terminal. My user is set to admin.

Also, how do I configure FTP privilages for below my share file? (i.e. privilages to upload to /etc and /usr folders).

I am a *NIX n00b, so you might need to hold my hand through this.
 
It sounds like you're going to have to learn some unix to get this going.

Also, how do I configure FTP privilages for below my share file? (i.e. privilages to upload to /etc and /usr folders).

Don't. FTP is terribly insecure in the first place, allowing root to login via it or making your user the owner of all those files would make your box the easiest to break in the world (just about anyway).

You probably don't have wget installed.
