Also, being that you're using Apache, you can always look at the  
documentation found at www.apache.org.  Remember that aside from the  
great GUI, Mac OS X is just another *nix system.  Most of the  
configuration/setup instructions you find on the net about configuring  
software on FreeBSD, Linux, or Unix will apply to you Mac OS X system.

Glad you were able to fix it on your own!
