I have used a lot of php/mysql/perl/apache in the past. postnuke is
php/mysql based so that is comfortable. It seems very mature and has
a very active development community. They are working hard on
security.

phpnuke development stalled for quite a while and had some history
with security problems -- hence the fork. Zope is another option. I
have also used (and very much enjoyed) mod_perl use HTML::Mason.
www.masonhq.com Mason would have required more devel time on my part
and Zope is it's own unique world. It was really easy to deploy
postnuke.

by the way, it's hosted on a FreeBSD box. I used the ports build of
postnuke for initial deployment. I grabbed several additional modules
and blocks from postnuke.com. I'm pretty happy with it so far. It
didn't take me too terribly long to do what I have so far. I'm
confident I could write or modify my own postnuke modules(php4) if the
need arises.
