------------------------------------------+------------------------
 In my Debian testing/squeeze, I have "Apache/2.2.16" and "PHP 5.3.3-6 with
 Suhosin-Patch (cgi-fcgi)".
 I have installed "mythtv-0.23.0+fixes24158-0ubuntu2" so that it is
 compatible with my already running Mythbuntu 10.04.

 The result was that MythWeb was all white, all links in the menu had cgi-
 bin in them and it said "An unknown module was specified".
 In the apache error log was:
 [error] [client 192.168.0.1] script not found or unable to stat: /usr/lib
 /cgi-bin/js, referer: http://192.168.0.1/mythweb/
 [error] [client 192.168.0.1] script not found or unable to stat: /usr/lib
 /cgi-bin/skins, referer: http://192.168.0.1/mythweb/

 The quick and dirty solution is, in mytweb/includes/defines.php:

 // Figure out the root path for this mythweb installation.  We need this
 in order
 // to cleanly reference things like the /js directory from subpaths.
 //    if (isset($_SERVER['ORIG_SCRIPT_NAME']) &&
 !isset($_SERVER['FCGI_ROLE']))
 //       define('root', str_replace('//', '/',
 dirname($_SERVER['ORIG_SCRIPT_NAME']).'/'));
 //    else
         define('root', str_replace('//', '/',
 dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']).'/'));

 AND

     if/* (isset($_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_INFO']) &&
 !isset($_SERVER['FCGI_ROLE']))
         $Path = $_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_INFO'];
     elseif*/ (isset($_SERVER['PATH_INFO']))
         $Path = $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'];
     elseif (isset($_ENV['PATH_INFO']))
         $Path = $_ENV['PATH_INFO'];
     elseif (isset($_GET['PATH_INFO']))
         $Path = $_GET['PATH_INFO'];

 In short, my cgi-mode PHP doesn't set $_SERVER['FCGI_ROLE'], by which you
 detect CGI.
 Suggested solution - look the string "cgi-bin" or "php5" in
 $_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_INFO'] instead of $_SERVER['FCGI_ROLE'].

 phpinfo() output attached.
