The simplest alternative is to install FGS with its Apache running on 
port 8080, and then proxy to it from the main Apache server. All you 
need in this case is to add two lines to your main Apache server's config:

ProxyPass               /myapps/     http://127.0.0.1:8080/myapps/
ProxyPassReverse        /myapps/     http://127.0.0.1:8080/myapps/

The example above assumes that all your FGS apps are going to be 
published under http://your.server.name/myapps/, but you can change the 
URL path to anything you like.

We use this kind of setup to a lot and it is very stable and much easier 
to maintain than doing custom builds from scratch.
