I avoid installing web applications using package management. Perhaps
that's because we pretty much always run a whole bunch of instances of
the same software.

You can configure Apache any way you want. A name virtual host is a fine
way to do it. We keep all web applications under /var/www. We don't back
up /usr as often as /var...
