Let's now check a few changes (additions to the system) that the AMP stack installation does in terms of the Apache 2.2 installation.
The most fundamental man page that gets installed is apache22(1M), which among other things reminds us about the following:
Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the servers are installed. It also includes two of the most popular MPMs - Prefork and Worker. By the time you read this, maybe the following link will still point or redirect you to the original authors' full documentation of this version: https://archive.apache.org/dist/httpd/docs/httpd-docs-2.2.31.en.pdf.A new credential is created:
# grep web /etc/passwd /etc/group
/etc/passwd:webservd:x:80:80:WebServer Reserved UID:/:
/etc/group:webservd::80:
# passwd -s webservd
webservd LK
# id -p webservd
uid=80(webservd) gid=80(webservd) projid=3(default)
A new dedicated SMF service gets installed:
# svcs -a | grep apache
disabled 18:59:49 svc:/network/http:apache22
# svccfg -s apache22 listprop httpd/*
httpd/enable_64bit boolean false
httpd/server_type astring prefork
httpd/stability astring Evolving
httpd/startup_options astring
...
Three important directories are created:
- /etc/apache2/2.2/
- /usr/apache2/2.2/
- /var/apache2/2.2/

Just for a quick-start (but be warned: do not keep using those configurations unless you really know what you're doing and intend so) we can accept the defaults in /etc/apache2/2.2/httpd.conf which among other things set the IP address of the server (ServerName) to 127.0.0.1 (localhost) which is reasonable at first.
Now it should be possible to start the HTTP web server:
# svcadm -v enable apache22
svc:/network/http:apache22 enabled.
# svcs apache22
STATE STIME FMRI
online 22:33:30 svc:/network/http:apache22
# svcs -l apache22
fmri svc:/network/http:apache22
name Apache 2.2 HTTP server
enabled true
state online
next_state none
state_time April 12, 2017 10:33:30 PM BRT
logfile /var/svc/log/network-http:apache22.log
...
# svcs -vL apache22
[ Apr 12 22:33:28 Enabled. ]
[ Apr 12 22:33:28 Executing start method ... ]
Apache version is 2.2
[ Apr 12 22:33:30 Method "start" exited with status 0. ]
On a headless host, a quick verification could be as follows:
# wget -nv -P /tmp http://localhost
... URL:http://localhost/ [44/44] -> "/tmp/index.html" [1]
Otherwise, if GNOME is installed on the web server host itself, then pointing a web browser to http://localhost should display the following (contents of the original bare bones index.html for the main/default site):
# cat /var/apache2/2.2/logs/access_log
... - - [...22:34:33...] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 44
... - - [...22:34:33...] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 209

[...] [error] [client...] File does not exist: .../favicon.ico
Beyond the basic installation, for better resource control management, I strongly recommend adjusting the project (for instance, www) under which the server will be running, that is, achieve something like the following:
# ps -o user,pid,ppid,project -p "`pgrep -f httpd`"
USER PID PPID PROJECT
root 559 1 www
webservd 577 559 www
webservd 591 559 www
webservd 593 559 www
webservd 604 559 www
webservd 607 559 www
webservd 616 559 www
And that's all folks!
