Installing Apache 2 on Intel Mini Running Tiger

Please bear with me. I'm new to server stuff.

I've been trying to install Apache2 on an Intel machine running 10.4.11. There are many references to a version of Apache2 located at serverlogistics.com, but the links are dead, and their current downloads section doesn't appear to feature Apache2 at this point.

I've installed a version via MacPorts (with the prerequisite Xcode and X11 installed with Tiger) using the command,

Code:
sudo port install apache2 @2.2.15

It looked like it was successful. I've confirmed that it's installed and active via the command,

Code:
port installed

which returns,

Code:
apache2 @2.2.15_1+darwin+preforkmpm (active)

The software itself is installed in the directory,

Code:
/opt/local/apache2

which I suppose is a default, since I didn't change anything during the install.

I've disabled Web Sharing in the system preferences (which I've read disables the default Apache 1.3.41). However, httpd -v still shows the old version. Without Web Sharing turned on, the local Sites folder is inaccessible. If I do turn it on, a PHP Info page shows it's still running 1.3.41.
