[mythtv-users] alt lightweight web servers for MythTV?

The proposition of using nginx sounded interesting, even though I thought 
it might be beyond my rather modest technical abilities. Emboldened by 
discovery of some installation instructions for both nginx and php-fpm on 
the Gentoo wiki, in combination with the write-up on nginx and MythWeb on 
the MythTV wiki, I overcame my reluctance and had a go at this. But I've 
pretty much flopped face-first straight out of the gate. I can't seem to 
get things working and am uncertain what to try next.

The write-up at the MythTV wiki turned out to be not so helpful partly 
because it seems to presume that the reader is already conversant with 
setting up web servers using Apache--a condition that does not describe 
me. It also appears a bit dated, furthermore seeming to be based on a 
distro that does not match mine. Thus directories, paths, and file names 
in the write-up do not exist in my installation. Given my sketchy grasp of 
Apache and web servers, any my even sketchier understanding of nginx and 
php, I'm now seriously stuck.

Web searches on serving MythWeb via nginx haven't turned up much. So I'd 
like to ask here whether anyone might direct me to some other resources 
that can help me out of this impasse? I would be most appreciative of any 
input that might allow me to progress toward getting MythWeb up and 
running here. Thanks
