Your server has probably got all the components of a LAMP stack on it.
If it hasn't it is a simple matter of installing them using yum. You
would learn a lot by doing it that way. yum will put stuff in the
correct locations.

If you are sure that you want to use a pre-packed LAMP stack, then I
guess that they must use different ports. I've never used one. I
suspect that you will have issues down the track, eg when you need to
upgrade either the system or the LAMP stack.

One option is to find an appliance ISO and use that rather than try to
install a LAMP stack on top of an existing system.
