A brief update: As of OpenBSD 5.7 (2015) the installation process is extremely easy. Apache httpd was replaced by Nginx, which has since been further replaced by OpenBSD's own server, aptly named 'httpd'.
'httpd' is installed by default, everything else you can still get from packages, with a couple name changes (including Apache and Nginx.) You will be asked which version to install - at the time of writing, versions 5.3.29p1 thru 5.6.5 are available.
#pkg_add php
#pkg_add php-fpm
#pkg_add pear
----
OpenBSD disables most services by default; a blank '_flags' line overrides default 'NO' value. pkg_scripts are located in /etc/rc.d/
To start at boot, edit "/etc/rc.conf.local":
httpd_flags=
pkg_scripts=php_fpm
----
Example /etc/httpd.conf
#
# paths are relative to chroot - e.g, '/var/www/run/php-fpm.sock'
server "default" {
listen on * port 80
location "*.php" {
fastcgi socket "/run/php-fpm.sock"
}
directory index index.php
root "/htdocs"
}
----
For date, timezone issues, copy /etc/localtime:
$cp /etc/localtime /var/www/etc/localtime
If 'localhost' DNS name fails to resolve, copy /etc/hosts
$cp /etc/hosts /var/www/etc/hosts
