Checked the permissions?

Go to tty2, press ctrl + alt + F2. Login from there and kill offending apps and see what happens? Yeah ctrl + alt + del also works. If nothing works, PC is all jammed up do this
Alt + syrq + s then alt+ sysrq + u then alt + sysrq + b
The order is important. First one sync everything to fs, second unmounts the fs and last one is for reboot. Use this as a last case scenario.

I'm trying this for the first time, so a step-by-step guide would be helpful |
just download apache2, mysql and php from your package manager almost everything will be ready. There are other solutions too, like lampp.

After install mysql, php and apache you should find configuration options in YAST. I am not familiar with YAST so can't help there.
