Once you have got an understanding of database, sql, you can learn about php. It's easy to find a tutorial on the Internet about this field. After that, you can continue with cms such as wordpress or joomla, then you can build your own website.
In case you have no idea about computer science and have a lot of time, you should learn the most basic concepts, from the network, instead of jumping right into the programming languages. When it comes to the roadmap, each person will have a different approach, for example: Linux => computer network => apache => database, mysql => php => cms.
