I have been searching online and cant find a great tutorial on how to  
get apache 2.2 and Mongrel playing nice on a Plesk 8.1 box. I thought  
maybe I could find something here but no results come up for Plesk.

I’m sure this is a popular topic, as Mediatemple only offers fcgi  
right now in their virtual dedicated products.

Anyone care to point one out or create one?

I did it once, several months ago. In this case, I was replacing Apache  
2.0 with 2.2.

I don’t recall anything peculiar about the experience, except that I had  
to rebuild everything in the world:-)

I just started with the original configuration file, commented out what  
didn’t work, built and rebuilt until there was nothing commented out. It  
was a tedious, hacky process, but no worse than that.
