Usually the startup line looks like this: /usr/local/etc/apache/src/httpd -f /usr/local/etc/apache/conf/httpd.conf Where it's [path to the daemon] -f [path to the config file] It's a good idea to make a shell script with that line in it, and stick it in your /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ directory, so it launches at startup. > I am > new to FreeBSD, and Unix, and I am confused as to some of the proper > settings in the config files (acces.conf, httpd.conf, and srm.conf). If you look through those files, *every* option is commented, and those comments tell exactly what the command does. If you are unsure about a specific command, that's where the apache web pages (http://www.apache.org> come in - you're correct, they don't have much in the way of sample config files, but they have an incredible amount of info relating to specific commands. Armed with that stuff, you should be able to get a apache server running nicely.
