I must apologise for my screw-up.
Apache is working fine.
The problem was that when I sought to access Webmin i got the message :
This server is running in ssl mode. I assumed it was apache, not
realizing that port 10000 took me to the Webmin server.
To clear things up, apache2.2.4 apparently automatically compiles with
SSL, but SSL is only active if it is configured with certificates etc.
and probably needs an installation of OpenSSL.
Thanks much for your help; you steered me in the right direction.

I only use the server locally on my local network so I don't need
the SSL.

OK, thanks for that, I didn't know.

Agreed. I don't like to use Webmin except to see if I may have missed
something. It does not have the correct settings on startup.

I finally found that Samba was looking for a guest account - I had not
set it up. Now it's working ok.

I have not configured the SSL cert but no matter what I do, apache still
runs with SSL. According to the manuals, apache is compiled with SSL by
default for version 2.2.4. I have tried to # the ssl_module in
httpd.conf with no results at all. That was the first thing I actually
tried when I saw it was running SSL.

Show us your httpd.conf?
It's probably something as simple as uncommenting everything to do with
SSL in httpd.conf, if compiled with SSL, Apache likes to automagically
setup a virtual host using SSL.
There should also be a command line argument to apachectl or httpd that
can be set with apache_flags="--disable-ssl" (or something similar) so
the RC scripts know how to load Apache. Read through
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache-script, you'll get some information through
that.
