can't start Apache 1.3 server in freeBSD 4.9 release #0

[Sujit Dey]

After installing Apache 1.3, i was configuring in freeBSD following the 
procedure mentioned in FreeBSD Handbook( section 23.7 Apache HTTP Server). 
i've tried ServerName (in httpd.conf ) with localhost, 127.0.0.1, but 
using "/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start", can't start the Apache server. It is 
giving httpd can not be started.
I followed same procedure in Windows and able to start Apache server.
please help me or give me some clue for how to start the Apache server.
