    Hello,

    To 'harden' my apache/php installation I'd like to run something like
    this:

    - apache/php without limitations serving trusted web pages (i.e. from
    /usr/local/www)
    - requests for users' pages tunneled via mod_rewrite to another apache/php
    working under different uid on localhost only (with safe_mode,
    open_basedir, and so on)

    This would allow me to run trusted applications without limitations of
    safe_mode, disabled functions, etc, and disallow users i.e. from reading
    my database passwords from scripts.

    The problem is I haven't got any idea how to supply different path to
    php.ini for second instance of apache (its location is defined at compile
    time). I don't want to install apache/php twice to different locations.
    I'd rather install it 'the right way' from ports and use two sets of
    configuration files.

    I could tweak startup scripts to change php.ini just before starting
    second instance of apache (this file is read once, just after start), but
    such hack doesn't sound nice to me ;-)

    Any ideas?
