To find it on your system use:
find / -name apachectl

Then if its there, use: /path/to/apachectl start

To install just use(its all in the INSTALL file):
./configure --prefix=PREFIX (I use /usr/local/apache2)
make
make install

httpd.conf is the config file, propbably need to edit a few values in there to get it working.

Ok i did the find thing and it gave me two directories
/home/hunter/httpd-2.0.43/support/apachectl
/home/hunter/httpd-2.0.43/bindist/bin/apachectl

i tried the bottom one and typed in
/home/hunter/httpd-2.0.43/bindist/bin/apachectl/to/apachectl start

then it said bash /home/hunter/httpd-2.0.43/bindist/bin/apachectl/to/apachectl is not a directory.

OK got two more questions one when i try to host my site i went into /var/www/html/ and added my html page which is named index.html but when i run my server and go to http://localhost it still shows the test page and secondly when i run my server nobody can go to my site. IT times out. IM behind a router but im forwarding port 80.

Make sure you DocumentRoot is set to /var/www/html

When you try to view it from outside your LAN does it give an error message or just say that it can't find the server.

Was this just a typo? You should have typed /home/hunter/httpd-2.0.43/bindist/bin/apachectl start (without the /to/apachectl bit)
