Perhaps people should be encouraged to consider alternatives to Apache. 
I suspect that for a lot of users wanting to simply run LiveCode scripts 
or serve dynamic content based on LiveCode scripts, most of the 
capability and flexibility of Apache is wasted overhead. If one has 
control over the software, it seems sensible to me to consider options 
which allow more reliably simple configuration.

I use Hiawatha <https://www.hiawatha-webserver.org>. It's dead simple to 
configure it to work with LC-Server. I have seen someone suggest the 
Abyss web server: 
<http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=8775>. There are 
others. It may be that spending a little time researching alternatives 
will pay you back in time (and aggravation!) in getting things running.
