You should install the Apache port by typing 'make' then 'make install' in
/usr/ports/www/apache

You should make sure that your ports CD-ROM is in your drive and mounted before
you try and build the port.

Once the port is installed, your web pages should be placed in
/usr/local/www/data/

I use Apache myself, and if you have any other problems. You could contact me
directly or use the list.
