I have just moved my limesurvey to one server to another. However after getting Apache running now. I'm getting issues stating that I need MySQL installed on the new server which I thought was odd because it states that LimeSurvey will create a database and the tables inside it. Am I wrong. please let me know I don't know what to do at this time I just want to bring my system back online
well, yes, Limesurvey creates the database and the table.
But it will not install the MySQL server.
Is there a MySql server?
If installed, is it running?

You will have to greate a LAMP enviroment. LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.
There should be tutorials out there to help you. However, seeing your questions I assume you are not very experienced with server administration and setting up a Linux webserver. I would highly recommend to get help for security reasons. If you are not very experienced it is difficult to set up a secure webserver.
I answer at the LimeSurvey forum in my spare time, I'm not a LimeSurvey GmbH employee.
