I had a succesful experience with it, but it was necessary to compile
apache and php and put the apache to run in another port (8080), because
apache and php must be compiled in certain non-standard way.

Besides that, it was a little complicated because it was necessary to
compile several packages in a non-standard path
(--with-prefix=/home/me), and in some cases I needed to modify the
Makefile files in order to make the compiler link with the correct library.

If you need the detailed commands I used, please send me an email and I
will send it to you.

Best regards,
