Rather than serve your entire data dir through Apache, I think it would be
better to serve just the www/ directory - no need to put up your
configuration files complete with database passwords. You could then use
Apache's mod_proxy like:
Alias /geoserver/www/ /var/www/mydomain/htdocs/
ProxyPass /geoserver http://localhost:8080/geoserver
That should keep the relative paths the same so your JavaScript application
should not even see the difference (I haven't tried this personally so I may
have botched the configuration above, but I hope you get the general idea.)
Then you can enable PHP for the htdocs directory.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
