Assign your own certificate and key (adjust /opt/freeware/etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf to match your file names) or generate self signed certificate like below:

# cd /opt/freeware/etc/httpd/conf/
# OPENSSL_CONF=/usr/lpp/openssl.base/inst_root/var/ssl/openssl.cnf openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 3650 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout ssl.key/server.key -out ssl.crt/server.crt

In case you do not need SSL support comment out below line in /opt/freeware/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:

# vi /opt/freeware/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

# Secure (SSL/TLS) connections
#Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf

You might need to define LIBPATH before restart

# export LIBPATH=/usr/lib
# /opt/freeware/sbin/apachectl restart

Configure STOR2RRD (attach STOR2RRD stuff at the end of /opt/freeware/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf)

# vi /opt/freeware/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf 

LoadModule cgi_module /opt/freeware/lib/httpd/modules/mod_cgi.so
