Ben

I currently have:
currently I have have
webrick/Typo (on :3000) with Apache (on :80) doing the
mod_proxy, mod_rewrite shuffle with all PHP apps working on
Apache 

I want to get:
lighttpd/Typo (on :3000) with Apache (on :80) doing the
mod_proxy, mod_rewrite shuffle *and* still having PHP apps
work on Apache (Drupal is just an example of one, I also
rely on Roundcube webmail, which is PHP, and Gallery), which
they currently do not.  If I just recompile PHP I'll mess
with my current PHP 5.1.2 (cgi-fcgi) config lost (this is
what happend on the old box, I could get each (Typo, and PHP
apps) to work, but not at the same time!

I actually have Drupal installed from source, or at least
all the PHP, since I run the latest, 4.7 on my current box. 
I tried the install of the port just to have it take care of
the deps, so I was hoping this message is telling.

I do have mod_fcgi installed for Apache, if I can't get the
above to work I'd just like to use Apache for everything
(tried moving everything to Lighttpd, but after 5 years I
have a somewhat complicated httpd.conf, and I'm not having
success duplicating some of the syntax in lighttpd.conf. 
I'm not giving up, but want to get my new box up first,
then work on migrating over to Light)

Thanks!
