Generally a firewall would simply block port 80/443, but since osgeo.org
seems to be working that doesn't seem the case. Now if for some reason
there are proxies going on and these are not localhost addressed they
might get broken. But generally php is directory based.

My guess is that vhosting is either off, or for some reason the vhosts
for fdo and mapguide got disabled since everything seems to point at
osgeo.org

I'm referring this to my drupal coworker who might have some ideas.
