I only use the server locally on my local network so I don't need the SSL.

OK, thanks for that, I didn't know.

Agreed. I don't like to use Webmin except to see if I may have missed 
something. It does not have the correct settings on startup.

I finally found that Samba was looking for a guest account - I had not 
set it up. Now it's working ok.

I have not configured the SSL cert but no matter what I do, apache still 
runs with SSL. According to the manuals, apache is compiled with SSL by 
default for version 2.2.4. I have tried to # the ssl_module in 
httpd.conf with no results at all. That was the first thing I actually 
tried when I saw it was running SSL.
