Installing Drupal

Just trying my first install of Drupal. Following instructions http://drupal.org/node/823990 for a multi-site install. I am doing this on a Parallels VPN.

First problem I encounter is that I do not appear to have a: /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

Any suggestions where else this might be located.

Thanks,
Nick

Just a little confused about a multi-site install. I read that there are possible security issues in doing a multi-site install but how do ISPs that offer Drupal hosting get around this?

Drupal newb here. I'm sure this is answered out there someplace, but haven't found it. Pointers would be appreciated.

How is Drupal deployed / content deployed in a multi-server deployment? E.g., a farm of X web servers, X >= 2. How does deployed content "get to" all the servers in the farm? What about modules?

I installed drupal 7 (which I am using to learn Drupal) directly onto my webhost via a link on the cpanel. I now need to add a new module which is not part of the initial installation. Please how do I add/ install a module to this installation directly onto the website?

want to display by counting the number refers to a node.
I put the Reference module, do not know how to display.

How can display a count of the references node?
Please Teach me.

thank you.

I'm new to Drush; I managed to install it on a fresh installation of MAMP Pro in just a few minutes. However, installing Drupal is another matter:
