Yes, I've successfully installed Mapserver/Chameleon on a test system
without Apache or PHP pre-installed. My "working server" has Apache and
PHP5 installed as a module. I'm not clear on the implications when this
is the case - whether the FGS install will impinge on applications
running on the PHP5 module (including Plesk Control panel) for example.
I've asked about this on the Chameleon mailing list now, awaiting a
reply.

Yes

Apologies. It was a straight configure, with no options

Good point! I've now tried the gdal configure --without-python and it
works fine, and is happy to play with the mapserver config.

Many thanks for your advice.
