I think that if you have experience in compiling apache and php, you won't
run into too much trouble.
You will have to compile a patched version of PHP. The version of php that
midgard is running on is 3.0.16. If you have previously compiled php
yourself and still have the sourcetree hanging around, you can copy the
script 'do-conf' to the midgard-php sourcetree. Edit this file to
include --with-midgard and and then execute it. After this make, make
install should leave you with a php module patched for midgard that has all
the functionality that was in your previous one.
If you don't have a do-conf file, you can find out the options your current
php module was configured with by creating a file test.php3 in your
documentroot with the contents: <? phpinfo(); ?> and point your browser at
it. Halfway down the resulting page you'll see the configure command that
was used to compile your module. Copy this line to the command prompt in the
midgard-php directory and append --with-midgard to it.

Checkout the documentation section on www.midgard-project.org, it mentions a
few sites that use midgard. There's also an installation manual that should
help you through installation trouble.
