Would lean towards an Apache / Passenger stack for this, since the PHP support
is baked-in. I'd recommend keeping each application as a separate Unix user, as
it will help avoid cross-app security breaches. Check out the Apache
documentation for vhosts:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/examples.html
and the Passenger docs:
http://www.modrails.com/documentation/Users%20guide%20Apache.html
Nginx and unicorn are definitely regarded as quicker, but if performance is a
major concern you shouldn't be serving multiple apps from one box.
