A way to run multiple instances of apache/php on the same box, on different ports, as different users with a minimum of configuration. If you are set up as I am (with apache in /usr/local/apache2) your properly written app with all other dependencies resolved should just run after following the usage instructions below.
Assuming you are on a Fedora 8 server and have compiled and installed the latest apache2 and php from tarball This setup is known to work with Wordpress.
- clone to a directory
- go there
- put your php app in htdocs/
- set the port in your environment $ export SRVPORT=2222 # or the port of your choice
- set the location of httpd in your environment $ export APACHEBIN=/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd
- cd to your dir
- bin/run_apache to start your server
- bin/stop_apache to stop your server
