You don't even need apache (step 6) as the php executable serves the site directly

Yes but I was using Lubuntu and I think there apache service is not started by default. I just added it so no one would be for worse by this procedure.

What I meant is that you don't need apache (or any web server) at all. "php -S" IS the web server
