I would continue my own lessons with PHP and MariaDB once I get another computer.
If you ask me, I would learn all that I can, regardless of anything, but I would use open source languages.

Imo, start with the level of Low-Level Programming. This give a base to build from. Pure understanding of this will help with other languages, syntax etc. Not good with web-dev or back-end server-side. Most back end web servers will run Linux or Linux variant because less vulnerable to script-kiddy attacks and more serious sniffing.

Does Apache count as one?
That's what I had on my old computer, not XAMPP or nginx.

Count as one what?
Apache is a HTTP server. Not a programming language.

I know.
I apologise for sounding like I confused that, what I was asking if Apache is the ideal server. Just realised that I was straying too far off-topic, so I will also apologise for that. It's just that I got too carried away with the web development part.
I would also recommend Perl. I love it and I shall continue to use it. The reasons are that it can be used to make both web and standalone applications via its innate interpreter, at least that's what I remember.

Perl is damn near a Swiss army knife but it is terribly inefficient at serving web pages. Maybe familiarize yourself with it for fun or if you have a task it is well suited for. Otherwise I wouldn't put much effort into learning it.
OP asked which language was good to start with. Neither Perl, nor low-level languages are really a good answer. PHP, Python, JS, or Ruby are probably the most popular interpreted languages used today. PHP is probably the easiest to learn and use.
Considering that OP randomly pops in with vague questions like this and doesn't seem to do much with the answers, it doesn't really matter what you say.

About PHP, I agree with you.
It's not only easy, it's fun and the syntax is conventional.

I first learned PHP and it was very similar to a lot of other languages.
Creating a website by myself was fun, frustrating and interesting. Especially since I could build a basic Admin UI for those who wanted to use it for basic tasks on their own websites.

I took PCP once, stared at a light bulb for five hours.
