I am trying to understand how you incorporate the >apache server onto your own. Please clear this up for me. Apache is a daemon (a server process) which runs ``on top'' of your OS. So FreeBSD is the OS and runs Apache as a webserver to service HTTP requests. (For a Windows comparison, NT plus IIS.) In /usr/ports/www/apache* we have a few apache ports which will download and install apache for you, which you can then configure for your own webserver needs.
