If you want to run it on a default openbsd box - apache 1.3.
On language - remember, PHP's design goal (as late as v3) was for complete
non-programmers to be able to pick it up and write programs immediately.
You can imagine how that can cause issues for security. Most libraries or
add-ons you install for PHP require you to run in insecure mode. PHP is the
opensource answer to visual basic, in the "yes, we can create absolute
insecure crap too" sense. If you want to do something similar to what
openbsd is doing, use C.

IMHO, C is not very easy to pick up for a started, and is not very
well suited for web-development (well, yes, there are web apps in C,
but they are exceptions than the norm). I strongly recommend python,
as I find it easier to learn and get productive. Plus it allows you to
use object orientation, once you are comfortable with it.

I agree with Amarendra. It's more difficult to write "sane" code in C
than in python or ruby. I choose Django (Python) to develop my blog, and
RoR to develop my work appliances.
I think that postgres it's awesome.
But if anyone can write a FREE (BSD) good framework for c/c++ web
appliances, c/c++ it's the best choice ;)
