Thanks for your post.  Actually yes,  the config file was moved to 
/usr/pkg/etc and all config files (ie: httpd.conf) have been triple 
checked for accuracy.  httpd Error log shows that after rebooting 
httpd thinks the config file is located here:

/usr/share/httpd/htdocs/etc/httpd/httpd.conf

after a quick:  httpd -f /usr/pkg/etc/httpd/httpd.conf

everything is back to normal..  I am scratching my head on this one.

thanks for your thoughts.
