I run web servers on OmniOS using Apache 2.2 in NGZs - no problems*.
I package apache for /opt/apache with the configuration files in
/etc/opt/apache (--prefix=/opt/apache --sysconfdir=/etc/opt/apache) which
puts both in the BE. I have mixed feelings about that but as long as you
are aware of the implications it isn't a problem either way.

The data is on a separate delegated ZFS data-set outside of the BE and
mounted elsewhere and I set exec=off, setuid=off, devices=off for that.
Apache is configured to write log files to the same data-set.

    haven't had the time to go back and investigate.
