The installation guide has good instructions. It can be found in <c8>\webcontent\documentation\en (if your language is English). Name of the PDF is inst_cr_winux.pdf

In addition to the product documentation check the cognos proven practices:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/data/library/cognos/cognosprovenpractices.html

especially managing apache webServer:

For MySQL you need to install the latest MySQL ODBC Connector (http://www.mysql.com/products/connector/) and to set up ODBC connections within you operating system.
