A very simple setup...

create the following directory structure:

  /apache
  /apache/conf
  /apache/hosts
  /apache/hosts/test
  /apache/logs
  /apache/bin

  put httpsd in /apache/bin
  put an appropriate httpd.conf in /apache/conf (see the web page for an
example conf - just tweak the   paths)
  put an index.html in /apache/hosts/test

then run:

  /apache/bin/httpsd -d /apache

Since apache-ssl uses a privileged port by default, you must be root
when starting up.

cheers,
Adam
