It's easy, because FreeBSD has kind of strict > (conservative) software layout. Our last Apache install went perfectly. Everything was installed under /usr/local/apache, exactly where we want it. This makes administration a breeze. Too many other ports install files all over the place. Please don't change a thing. If you must modify Apache then use symlinks. For instance: ln -s /usr/local/apache/etc/httpd.conf /usr/local/etc ln -s /usr/local/apache/bin/start /usr/local/etc/rc.d Deterministic file locations are especially important to shops like ours where there are Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD and other Unix operating systems. And remember: KISS (keep it simple...)
