Hi Mike,

You are most certainly free to run Apache 2.x, PHP and whatever else you
want to run on your system. You are also free to publish whatever you
like.

Before you do, I suggest you read the list archives a bit. You may not
agree but you should at least learn the reasoning on other side of the
debate. There are reasons why Apache 2.x is not included in the base
installation of OpenBSD. There are reasons why people on the list
discourage using PHP. And there are reasons why people on the list
(including myself) discourage writing "HOWTO" documentation.

You may never agree with opposing sentiments but at least you will
understand the reasoning behind them and hopefully know why you will
either be ignored or face heated opposition.

This is the start of the thread others have mentioned:
