Samuel is correct. It rather depends on what the webapp is written in
(PHP, Perl, Java, C, C++, whatever) and what frameworks they're
dependent on. You might be able to run the webserver part under
lighthttpd or nodejs, then again you might need something more complex
like ngnix, Apache or Tomcat. It rather depends on what you're doing.

Again, Sam's got it. SELinux keeps processes from gaining privileges
they shouldn't have and writing data to spots they shouldn't. If you
keep all of the code and such in the places SELinux expects them, they
write to files and directories they're allowed to and they don't try to
use privileged operations they shouldn't (e.g. executing code off the
stack, etc.), you shouldn't have any issues. This includes all the
underlying bits (PHP shouldn't write to the wrong directories, etc.).
