yeah, well the TL distribution of Apache (and the RH one) puts files in
places that make sense with respect to the rest of the system - Apache's
defaults simply *don't* make sense on a SysV-init-based distribution,
IMHO.  I wish (does this already exist ?) that I could just send a SIGHUP
or SIGUSR1/SIGUSR2 to apache to make it re-read its config files, but, the
stop/restart thing usually works fine.

Also, 'locate' will not work unless your system is left on overnight at
least once (whereas cron will run the cron.daily and run updatedb and
makewhatis), or unless you 'makewhatis' and 'updatedb' manually.  The
installer probably should at least give you the option to do that after
install, but it (currently) does not.
