Basically, you need to have mod_wsgi properly configured and you need to create an appropriate apache virtual host for your domain. There were threads here about this before and the above mentioned CentOS 7 script has this covered in a certain way, so you can look into it for ideas. Generic mod_wsgi how-to's on the internet should also give you a good starting point, web2py doesn't need anything that special in this regard. I suggest working on getting you custom apache and custom python working together with the use of mod_wsgi first, this is the crucial part.
There are other ways of running web2py under apache (apart from mod_wsgi) but this is probably the most well documented approach when it comes to apache and python in general. And it's really not that bad either. Btw, is there any chance you could switch to CentOS 7 and use apache and python provided by the OS? That would simplify your sysadmin life a lot.
