Admin != root, and root has the real rights.
Use sudo when you change httpd.conf, which does contain about two pages of comments at the start of it.
Once you go to tiger, the apple installer will rename your httpd.conf file to something like httpd.conf,applesaved and replace it with a new httpd.conf, so you will need to revisit your changes.

I'm terrible at modifying files in Terminal. I'm trying to do a cp to make a backup of the httpd.conf file before I modify it and I'm getting permissions denied even though I'm the Admin user.
Also when I was able to open up the file using VI, all I saw were a bunch of comment lines, nothing that looks like configuration. Any ideas?
