1) Yes, knoppix came with apache that support php extension. You need to do some editing in :
/etc/apache.httpd.conf to set your apache ex: point to where your webpages located. The default is /var/www.
also add index.php in /etc/apache.httpd.conf so it can read php directly.
ex:
# DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML
# directory index. Separate multiple entries with spaces.
#
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.cgi index.php
</IfModule>

2) To set apache to start on boot, run this command as su: update-rc.d apache defaults

To test if your apache is working, point your browser to your ip address.
