But still... you do not want to give apache sudo rights. I would LOVE to add
a few PHP scripts of my own to that server. No, not really because I am a
good guy. :P

But maybe, if the server is totally dedicated to this job, and no others can
use that apache, it is doable. But not really recommended.
I would say: don't.
