The best place to start is here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ Regarding your current task, the section on "ports" is probably the most helpful. It looks like you will have to upgrade the Apache port that is currently installed. Is there a specific version of the Apache web server that is needed? FreeBSD supports many different versions of the Apache webserver - yet the ports system makes installing, and updating, these applications very easy.
