  HTTPD_SERVER_ROOT        = Directory for Apache's essential files, e.g. access logs / error logs / modules / scripts.
  HTTPD_SERVER_CONFIG_FILE = Full-path of the 'httpd.conf' file
  HTTPD_USER               = Which user that httpd runs as
  HTTPD_GROUP              = Which group that httpd runs as
  HTTPD_DOC_HOME           = Document directory, taken as the first DocumentRoot path found in httpd.conf
