2) For some reason I am not able to run PHP as a module in apache (apache won't start), so I am running it as CGI. Does anyone have any thoughts on why?
there is currently no official apache2.2 for the php module
3: Remember change your siteaccess and override settings and to clear all cache when doing such a change.
4: About removing index.php, look for forum posts and documentation on virtual host mode.

Thx to both of you for the swift respons, Björn and André.
Björn: Then that makes sense... :)

3: When you say "clearing all cache" are you talking about the cache in ezpublish, the browser or both? Quote: "Remember change your siteaccess and override settings": I guess you are talking about the files in the ..\ezpublish\settings\override\ and ..\ezpublish\settings\override\siteaccess\ folders. I have had a look in the ..\ezpublish\settings\override\site.ini.append.php and the ..\ezpublish\settings\siteaccess\mysite\site.ini.append.php files. Which settings are necessary to have in mind when I move the DocumentRoot point from "C:/apache/htdocs" to "C:/apache/htdocs/ezpublish" in httpd.conf in apache?

cache in ezpublish, browser cache is only needed to be cleared sometimes on external css and javascript changes like all other web applications/ pages.

You need to set the correct value for SiteURL in site.ini in \settings\override\ or \settings\siteaccess\*\
