.../apache/bin/httpd should be enough if you have  everything  statically
linked in (our setup has).

The .../apache/conf/httpd.conf will have to be  significantly  altered
to bring up the SSL server too. So you may want to keep a backup  copy
of this one as well.

Hummm...  re-read the INSTALL file carefully.
See the section:

  o Apache + mod_ssl/OpenSSL + PHP3/MySQL
    -------------------------------------
towards the end of the file. It applies to PHP4 as well.
You have to run the Apache configure script two times actually.

This is getting off-topic. Follow-up privately if any.
