Apache web-server is normally started as httpd and this runs on port 80. Apache web-server can also run on other ports on the same platform. When Apache web-server is started using SSL as https:// it is normally started as httpsd (or something like that) running on port 443.

If you don't have a web-service running on port 443 the https:// construct will not work (unless you specify a different port). For well-known SSL based web-services you will have the 443 listening socket.

Most users of web-services run both httpd and httpsd so you should (may) have www-services running on both port 80 and port 443 with different listening (server) processes.

I recommend you build a static version of httpd and a static version of httpsd first and not deal with the complexities of loadable apache modules. After you are comfortable with static version and version control, they you can decide is loadable modules makes sense for you. However, for new users, they add a layer of complexity that make life more difficult.

apache(1M)                                                System Administration Commands                                                apache(1M)

NAME

       apache - Apache hypertext transfer protocol server overview

DESCRIPTION

        apache  consists  of a main server daemon, loadable server modules, some additional support utilities, configuration files, and documenta-
       tion.

FILES

       The apache HTTPD server is integrated with Solaris.

       The following files specify the installation locations for apache:

       /etc/apache             Contains server configuration files.

                               A newly-installed server must be manually configured before use. Typically this involves copying httpd.conf-example
                               to the httpd.conf file and making local configuration adjustments.

       /usr/apache/bin         Contains the httpd executable as well as other utility programs.

       /usr/apache/htdocs      Contains  the  Apache  manual  in HTML format. This documentation is accessible by way of a link on the server test
                               page that gets installed upon fresh installation.

       /usr/apache/include     Contains the Apache header files, which are needed for building various optional server extensions with apxs(8)

       /usr/apache/jserv       Contains documention for the mod_jserv java servlet module. Documention can be read with a web  browser  using  the
                               url:

                               file:/usr/apache/jserv/docs/index.html

       /usr/apache/libexec     Contains loadable modules (DSOs) supplied with the server. Any modules which are added using apxs(8)are also copied
                               into this directory.

       /usr/apache/man         Contains man pages for the server, utility programs, and mod_perl.

                               Add this directory to your MANPATH to read the Apache man pages. See NOTES.

       /usr/apache/perl5       Contains the modules and library files used by the mod_perl extension to Apache.

       /var/apache/cgi-bin     Default location for the CGI scripts.

                               This can be changed by altering the httpd.conf file and restarting the server.

       /var/apache/htdocs      Default document root.

                               This can be changed by altering the httpd.conf file and restarting the server.

       /var/apache/icons       Icons used by the server.

                               This normally shouldn't need to be changed.

       /var/apache/logs        Contains server log files.

                               The formats, names, and locations of the files in this directory can be altered by various configuration directives
                               in the httpd.conf file.

       /var/apache/proxy       Directory used to cache pages if the caching feature of mod_proxy is enabled in the httpd.conf file.

                               The location of the cache can also be changed by changing the proxy configuration in the httpd.conf file.
