Apple really makes a mess of things when it comes to anything remotely
resembling a "normal" unix machine. :-/
I suspect what happened is Apple installed apache "for you" and set it up so
that it would start. Poke around looking for a "Startup" type of directory
and clobber it?
It probably did similiar things to your mysql.
You might have to (re)configure apache.

If you're unfamiliar with FreeBSD, that might be true for your definition
of "normal". But there's nothing to stop anyone from using a different
prefix for an installation of any tool they want, of course.

It's in the xinitd files as one would expect.

Or, just roll your own & put it where you want it, and tell Apple's
not to start.

Hi:
I'd recommend the latter. Use the "Sharing" GUI and turn off web if
it's turned on, or edit /etc/hostconfig and change WEBSERVER to =NO= . .
.. if necessary.
Then compile Apache (I'm assuming you want Apache 2), into the default
/usr/local/apache2 (you need the developer tools to be installed,
otherwise just follow the httpd.apache.org how-to). That'll give you
the apxs stuff you need to make compiling most any of the mod_whatever
plugins a breeze.
DON'T screw with Apple's stuff, just work around it using /usr/local,
just as you would for YDL or RedHat or Mandrake or whoever.
I take the final step of moving /usr/local/apache2 to /Library/Apache2
and then symlinking /Library/Apache2 back to /usr/local/apache2, which
makes the files invovled "visible" and stowed away in an OSX-ish manner.
Finally, you can take something like "Broadband Optimizer" as a template
app/directory (freeware, worth checking out), copy it as "Apache2",
modify the shell script . . . and place it in StartupItems, if you want
an Apple GUI-ish implementation.
My two cents.
D.
