You could try the Apache 2 that come with 10g - I have not tried it, but fail to see why it would not connect to 9i.

You cannot have any Apache installed, apart from the Oracle Apache, as Oracle compiles with older C-compiler versions - at least, mod_plsql is compiled with the same C compiler, and will work.

Another option would be to abandon Oracle Apache altogether, and go for Apache/Tomcat or similar. That works like a charm.
