Thoughts? This is pretty much a separate topic and so really belongs in a separate thread, but since I'm making this point I may as well answer anyways :) Absolutely.

The Apache/PHP (as Module or CGI)/MySQL solution is used in millions of websites, of which I'm sure a large portion are public access.
