  I have the same question. I can read the httpd.conf file, but I can't change it. The reply to the previous post did not address the issue. Any more ideas?

  You may found the answer to your question, But I ma reading through this thread and found your question.
  
  You will not find any file located at /etc/htmld using Spotlight
  
  find the file
  
  1. Open terminal from <Application><Utilities>
  2. This will open a command window on your desktop
  3. At the prompt type httpd -V
  you should see a report
  
  NOTE : this report will tell you that with MAC OSX
  the file you are looking for is located at
  -D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="/etc/httpd/httpd.conf"
  3. use this command at the command line prompt
  cd /etc/httpd
  4. this will switch you to the directory/folder
  named /etc/httpd the configuration file is located in this file - folder path
  
  If you have not received an answer yet I hope this will be of any use for you
  
  cheers
