A common error is to burn the file rather than the image.

Get ONE up at a time. 

The built-in vsftpd is perfect and very simple to configure.

Fedora devels have pre-configured apache (HTTPD) to pretty-much work out
of the box.

For email, I recommend Postfix. Many people find it much simpler to
configure than Sendmail. Some suggest that the modular approach makes it
faster and less resource consuming as well.
