Settting up Web Server with Multi-homing

My (vmWare) Server just crashed on May 4. I have to rebuilt my Server with Array raid 5 level. Now i got it up and working with the array. I learn one thing very important after this crash > BACK UP YOUR SERVER (COPY THE WHOLE FOLDER) beside with the making of snapshot for your server. Here are the steps i used to build my Web server.

→ install the apache2 package using command: sudo apt-get install apache2
→ install the apache2-doc package: sudo apt-get install apache2-doc
→ install firefox for your web server: sudo apt-get install firefox
Notes: there are several ways to install firefox. this is the alternative way.
→ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
→ sudo apt-get update
→ sudo apt-get install firefox ubufox
For some reason, this step does not work for me. Error: command not found (for the 1st step). But it works for others. So, i am trying to figure out what is missing.
→ i supposed to have my DNS server up and running for the web server. But since it crashed, i am too lazy to rebuilt the whole DNS. However i like change my ip to static instead of dhcp. I used route -n to figure out my gateway, and ifconfig to figure out my ip address and relevant info.
