>From the "LOOKING TOO CLOSE" department:

    I finally figured out my problem installing the new APACHE 1.2.4 via
PORTS or via APACHE source/binaries......

    THERE ARE NO "default" .CONF files as part of the distribution ( as they
always were before...),  they are 
 
       .conf-dist    (duh!)

    THOSE files are exactly where httpd looks for .conf   .... so copying my
OLD .conf files into that sub-dir SOLVED the problem.

    Sometimes you can see the forest for the "-dist".
