OK, I tried that, with exactly the same results. Here is the minimum 
httpd.conf file I used:
#minimal httpd.conf
ServerRoot "/usr/pkg/etc/httpd"
Listen 80
User www
Group www
ServerName linden
#optional stuff
TypesConfig mime.types
#LoadModule log_config_module modules/mod_log_config.so
ErrorLog /var/tmp/error_log
LogLevel debug
TransferLog /var/tmp/access_log
DocumentRoot /var/tmp/www

I did notice that the number of entries in a directory listing does 
correspond to the number of files in that directory, and that 
non-existent directories get the 404 error,
so it's apparently reading the file system, just not serving it up 
right. Error messages and status messages come up normally.
