I just tested tasksel out, and you are correct, it is a little obtuse. Here are some things you can do:

use apt-get instead of tasksel
sudo apt-get install <task name>^ in your case, sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
(I don't know much about using apt-get this way, but it doesn't seem to be documented)

you can locate the apache2 processes that should be running if they are installed: pgrep apache2

There will be no icon, as these commands are designed to work without a GUI desktop. The default location to put your php files is /var/www

Please check out the server guides for more info:
