Have you tried that? Second - how do you know that httpd isn't running? Third - what port are you trying to run apache on? I _think_ that if you're running on a port < 1024 you'll need to start apache as root. Are you? Finally - is the apache from the ports collection? My experience with ports is that they'll generally start/run/work without any additional configuration.
