It would be stupid idea to mess with someone' computer and install tons of software just to see a website. There are plenty of webhostings avaialbe where you can host your website and point your visitors there

In that case, probably the easiest solution is to supply preconfigured virtual machine. You can download preconfigured LAMP appliance for e.g. Oracle' VirtualBox, and distribute that appliance with a copy of VirtualBox.

Thanks, is a nice solution but it will degrade the performace of the software and the clients don't gonna be happy. it should be a way to create an autoinstaller like every other software

Your "autoinstaller" could consist of simple batch file executing setups for various parts of what you need (Apache, MySql, PHP, and your web site), and they **somehow** applying all nesessary configuration changes so that various parts can talk to each other. This could be as simple as copying couple of additional configuration files, or as "hacky" as changing registry. But you will always depend on that particular' user particular configuration in order for everything to work right (e.g. what will happen if he already has a web server running).
