How To Install Apache Http Server on a Unix System

Unix system: Solaris, Linux, etc.

Steps:
download the Unix Source at http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
extract the tar file
follow instructions on INSTALL file.
[EDIT]Sometimes when running commands on the terminal, you might get "Permission Denied" errors. This can be solved by typing in "su" which is like sudo, the equivalent of "Run as administrator" on Windows. After typing that in, you will have to enter your administrator password. When you have done this, type in the command that was unsuccessful earlier on.

Note: installing requires a gcc package (it's a C compiler). Click here for more details on getting the gcc.
Lacking the GCC generates a different error "No compatible C compiler found".
