Been there - got that t-short. All I can say is -
Build it yourself. Become a guru. I've been playing around with Apache
since version .9 on AIX (1995) and I am still playing -- why allow
things to get serious?
When you are ready to ignore the "vendor" docs and jump in with both
guns blazing - post back here and I will help you. And, I would hazard
that if I cannot there are MANY here that can.
Apache's community support is as good as, if not better than, Perl's
community support.
Many of the readers, posters, and lurkers here all started off as
newbies - OK, Rich didn't; but most of us did :)

apache2 expects httpd.conf in the correct install path. The formats
between httpd.conf files is about 95% similar -- the major exceptions
being PORT is no longer supported in Apache2 (use LISTEN instead) and
the other major issue is that you need to pick a *thread* model -- I
picked threadpool for my Solaris 9 Ultrasparc. If you are on linux the
2.6 kernel is the one I believe supports threadpool -- otherwise
you must pick preforked process-based.
If you build Apache2 from scratch and try to use an old httpd.conf -
apache2 will give you very good hints as to what is wrong.

I do not believe webmin is set-up to properly handle Apache2 as of yet
-- I have used webmin a lot myself and I have not seen Apache2 support
yet.
If you are ready to try to build Apache2 ytourself -- try this command
at the top level source directory -
./configure --enable-v4-mapped --enable-auth-anon --enable-auth-dbm \
--enable-auth-digest --enable-file-cache --enable-charset-lite \

Hmmm, interesting - my previous e-mail (containing configuration

If it doesn't show up -- e-mail me off list and I'll resend it to you.

Also, I almost forgot, here is my httpd.conf file (Apache2) at:
http://insecurity.org/httpd.conf
Get it quick as that file will disappear during the next Server DocRoot
rebuild.

Hey, what did I start with my humble question!
The other obstacle that I hit was the htppd2.conf versus httpd.conf issue.
Is it as simple as Apache2 using the former and Apache 1 using the latter? Sounds obvious to me but I shouldn't make assumptions.
I initially tried using webmin to administer Apache. That has been useful with other servers.
Unfortunately it expects httpd.conf and couldn't find it.

I assure you, I started as a newbie. I have no illusions about the
limits of my ignorance. ;-)

Oh? How's that?
BTW, I only pay attention to the docs when I'm trying to do something in
Apache that isn't very well commented (or don't understand the comments)
in the httpd.conf file. ;)
