^^^^^^^^^ ?? This is not an executable, this is a shell script used to start httpsd executable.

If you look under $(PREFIX)/conf, you will see httpd.conf, the file that is used by apache (and apache-SSL) to set up itself. You may have httpsd.conf there; then you must have used
<path>/httpsd -f <path_to_conf>/httpsd.conf
to start apache-SSL. This is plain text file; use any text editor to modify it. You should do so anyway as there are some places there where you should enter _your_ data (e.g., SSLCertificateFile etc.)
After you modified the configuration file, you need to restart
apache[-SSL].
