If you really want to run a web server plus script lang plus on freebsd, you
should just install the native packages and ports.  There is the handbook
which covers installation and configuration of each part of the stack,
perhaps this is unlike you're previous os.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/network-apache.html

You might even check for the port of the particular app you're trying to run
and install that directly.  It should pull in the dependencies directly.
