I confirmed the location of the things it was looking for by opening up a terminal and looking for the config directory and the two programs. Specific commands to type in, one at a time, minus the quotes and hitting the enter key after each are: "ls -l /etc/httpd" "which httpd" "which apachectl".

On the page in the ColdFusion 8 install process called “Configure Web Servers / Websites, I click the “Add” button. Up pops a separate box where my default installation of Apache is recognized.

If my assumptions are incorrect here and you’ve installed Apache 2 separately while uninstalling Apache 1.3, then I imagine the locations of httpd and apachectl will not be found. I can look up what the defaults were and assist with that as well.

Hopefully this helps a bit, if not, repost some more details with what else you need or any more specific issues that are coming up. I do have some screen shots that I could post after work this evening.
