Hi,

I haven't followed this thread but if Web development is required
I think you should seriously look at zope (www.zope.org).
It has a built in Web Server/DB Server and a framework for web
development.
Extra modules can be written using Python or download from the
dozens already created.

It's GPL'd and can also connect to pretty much any other web server/DB
server you could think of.

I'm not saying it's the answer but it should definitely be considered.
