could someone make a full tutorial on how to make a website on linux
(ubuntu/debian) because i can see that there is a lot that i dont know :S

(my main problem is with allowing the site to write data in side it and i
get this error on 2/3

Couldn't open config-protected.php for editing, it must be writable by
webserver! )

you can better search with google for such linux problems.
But since I am so kind, open a terminal and type:
sudo chmod 777 /var/www/

replace /var/www/ if your website is in another directory
Warning: Don't use this on any important root directory like /var /home 
/etc...!!!

i did that first (haha im not that kind of a newb) and it didn't work

but some guy have sent a msg and told me that something is wrong with my web 
server
not the site it self

and the guy before him sent a msg that i need to allow accsess to my website 
with
.htacsess (or something like that)

there is no reason that you should chmod your entire website directory to 777 
that is unwise to say the least and very un-secure.

Try this instead:

sudo cp /var/www/config/config-protected.php.dist 
/var/www/config/config-protected.php

sudo cp /var/www/config/config.xml.dist /var/www/config/config.xml

sudo cp /var/www/config/playermap_config.php.dist 
/var/www/config/playermap_config.php

sudo chmod 777 /var/www/config/config-protected.php
