could anyone suggest the appropriate lighting to use for product and apparel shooting. Or a site for help.

Product photography can be done with as little as two lights. One light at a 45 degree angle on opposite sides of the item. Smaller items are photographed in Light Domes, Light Boxes and Tents to provide a white background with even lighting (the lights are a lot closer in this condition). Take some time to read up on it. If it's something you are going to charge a person for, give them the liberty of having knowledge found by other professionals, not something that's free. I'd rather have my car looked at by a certified mechanic, not by some kid who saw a diagram on the net.
Check out these sites:

http://www.productphotography.com/index.html
http://www.voeltnerphotography.com/
- All three of them are companies that actually do product photography. Take some tiem to look at the photos and get an idea as to what companies like to see.
Below are links to items that will help aid you in product photography
