  • It is not clear if you are aware that Apache 1.3 is installed by default given that it is part of the base installation.
  • Apache 2.2 is only available through OpenBSD's packages/ports system.
The OpenPorts.se page referenced earlier:

http://openports.se/www/apache-httpd

...will only provide information on the package. The package itself is not available on the OpenPorts site.

In many ways, obtaining packages from a site not affiliated with the OpenBSD project isn't what you want anyways, as it is preferable to get packages from sanctioned mirror sites officially blessed by the OpenBSD project. The OpenPorts site is merely a third-party site which harvests information from CVS & displays it in a most palatable manner.

So to actually download and/or install packages, study Section 15.2.2 of the FAQ.
