Apache redirecting CGI scripts seems to be exactly the problem. I just
disabled the php4-cgi for the /mythweb directory (it's now using the
php5 module), and everything works. I'll test using the php4 module if
you'd like. But if you're using php as a CGI module it looks like you
can't use mythweb.
