I think, by default the Apache port assumes that your Document-
Root is at /usr/local/share/apache/htdocs for static pages, and
/usr/local/share/apache/cgi-bin for CGI programs and scripts.
You can change these directories in your Apache config, which
is /usr/local/etc/apache/apache.conf (you'll have to modify
that file to fit your own needs anyway).
Use the command ``apachectl configtest'' to check the syntax of
your config file after you've done any modifications. Then use
``apachectl restart'' to restart Apache, in order to let any
modifications take effect. Watch Apache's error_log file
afterwards, in case any problems arise from your modifications.
Regards
Oliver
