FreeBSD Apache

Install

First, add your hostname to /etc/hosts so Apache doesn't have issues with local name resolution.

Build and install Apache using ports.

cd /usr/ports/www/apache22-worker-mpm
make -DWITHOUT_DAV -DWITHOUT_DAV_FS -DWITHOUT_CGI -DWITH_SUEXEC make install
cd /usr/ports/www/mod_fcgid && make install

Add user for suexec

pw useradd -n vhost -s /usr/sbin/nologin -d /nonexistent

Modify Apache configuration

Load fcgid module

fetch -q -o /usr/local/etc/apache22/extra/httpd-fcgid.conf http://freebsd.digitaltrike.com/apache/httpd-fcgid.conf
echo "# Digital Trike" >> /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf
echo Include etc/apache22/extra/httpd-fcgid.conf  >> /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf

LoadModule fcgid_module libexec/apache22/mod_fcgid.so
<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
  AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
</IfModule>

Create filesystem hierarchy

cd /usr/local/www/localhost/
mkdir cgi-bin htdocs sessions uploads
chown www:www sessions uploads
chown dtrike:dtrike htdocs
cd cgi-bin
wget http://freebsd.digitaltrike.com/php/php-cgi.ini -O /usr/local/etc/php-cgi.ini
wget http://freebsd.digitaltrike.com/php/php-wrapper -O /usr/local/www/localhost/cgi-bin/php-wrapper
chmod +x /usr/local/www/localhost/cgi-bin/php-wrapper

Include etc/apache22/extra/httpd-mpm.conf
Include etc/apache22/extra/httpd-info.conf
Include etc/apache22/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Include etc/apache22/extra/httpd-default.conf

Create virtual host configuration

mkdir -p /var/www/localhost/{htdocs,cgi-bin,sessions,uploads,php}
wget -q http://freebsd.digitaltrike.com/php-wrapper -O /var/www/localhost/cgi-bin/php-wrapper
chmod +x /var/www/localhost/cgi-bin/php-wrapper
chown -R vhost:vhost /var/www/localhost/{cgi-bin,htdocs}
touch /var/www/localhost/php/error_log
chown www:www /var/www/localhost/{sessions,uploads,php/error_log}
wget -q http://freebsd.digitaltrike.com/deployment/fs-overlay/var/www/localhost/php.ini -O /var/www/localhost/php/php.ini
