I recently installed some software that had an apache frontend.  I
haven't updated my gentoo system in awhile, and it didn't effect
mythweb, but it did install the apache files in
/usr/share/webapps/program/version/htdocs/program...so it didn't work
in apache like I thought it would.  All I did to work around it was
create a symlink to it from /var/www/localhost/htdocs/program.  You
could try that.  Let me know how it goes, I'm just waiting for some
free time so I can upgrade my backend and frontend.
