Ok first of all I want to create a web server that can interact with php, Mysql or mango db and mobile applications. What do you think is better to use Java or Python? I would like some good articles about web servers and how to interact with php ... For example I managed to create an simple web server but I don't know how to run php on it , and how can I make a mobile app to connect on it... I would really appreciate some tips about these sort of things and some good tutorials ...

1Why do you want to write your own web server? Can't you use apache or lighttpd or some other Web server that already exists? – Daren Chandisingh Nov 19 '11 at 19:28

You can use http://pear.php.net/package/HTTP_Server as webserver base. Executing PHP within that is as simple as running a CGI interpreter. You need the php-cgi binary and pass some environment variables and possibly the POST body. It's just important to invoke the php-cgi binary with the right environment parameters.
Also have a look at Nanoweb, an existing webserver in PHP. It comes with a mod_cgi implementation.
