I installed my copy of 4.6.2 cleanly on a machine, to avoid having to find myself looking for more ports and programs to install I did a complete installation without bothering with the configuration of Xwindows ( as I will be accessing this box from SSH on a windows machine) so I don't need the XFREE86 or however its called, hehe. So in essence this is all being fine tuned by remote on LAN.
First, 4.6 is depreciated, since you are starting on a clean install, I suggest you start with a current release such as 4.11 or 5.3. For ease of future upgrade, I suggest 5.3. Get the first iso, no need for the rest.
Second, you might find yourself installing a few times before you get it right. Not that you get it wrong at first, but your needs might need to clear up. A full install is not recommended, you will get a system that requires more work to update. A minimal is better, since you can always add stuff as you need. Dependencies are resolved automatically if you use the ports.
For a workstation I choose X-Developer, for a server, no X.
To answer your question about whether I'm downloading .iso, no I did that for the first copy of the OS only and made a cd copy from windows yes. But all further ports I grab are *.tar.gz straight from Apache.org yes and then ftp'd into my bsd box. I can unzip them fine then I'm stuck with the tar to which I believe I 'untared' it correctly that now I have an apache_1.3.33 folder, which to me seems fine, but I don't believe I put it in the right directory tree.
It sounds like you are not installing from ports, this explains why apache fails to compile. You should get the ports tree in /usr/ports, then
# cd /usr/ports/www/apache13 # make # make install
if you get an error, retry and you can catch all the output using script:
# script apache_build.log # make # exit
see if you can locate the problem if not copy the relevant part of the output when asking here.
