Question: OS X Apache Location?

Where does OS X Tiger actually store the apache directory? I want to change the access file but I can't seem to find it. Spotlight doesn't reveal the file. A related question: grep doesn't work in OS X's terminal??? I feel silly :(

Document root: /Library/WebServer/Documents/
httpd.conf: /etc/httpd/

In the interest of teaching you to fish, I will demonstrate the locate command, which works just fine on OSX Tiger:

$ locate httpd.conf /private/etc/httpd/httpd.conf $

To prove grep works (slower than locate, but if your locate database isn't up-to-date, this should find anything anywhere on the drive):

find / | grep 'httpd.conf'
