Doug Stanley proposed the following answer:
Hmm, as far as I know, there doesn't exist like any kind of standard gui
configuration tools. I did find one package you can install extra to
configure apache with, and it looks pretty slick, it's called rapache.

If you click your applications menu, then at the bottom, click Add/Remove, the application manager should pop up.
On the far left of that window, click All, then up at the top, there's a drop down, select "All available applications", then in the search box next to the drop down, type in:
rapache
You should get one match that shows up. Check the checkbox next to it, and then at the bottom, click apply changes.

Once it's installed, it should be under Applications -> System tools.

It seems like a pretty nice tool to configure apache with.

To start/stop services, it looks like the graphical way to do it is from the System -> Administration -> Services menu item.
Just check/uncheck the box whether you want the service to be on/off.

Also, it's really easy from a command line, you can type:
sudo service apach2 restart
To restart apache after you've made config changes, or simply replace "restart" with start, or stop.

As for mysql, it also doesn't come with a gui config tool that I know
of. I would install Mysql Administrator, and Mysql Query Browser. Those
are the tools built by the mysql people, and they work quite well.

Same rules for starting/stopping/restarting mysql as apache.

Hope that helps!
Doug
