httpd.conf is the main config file for apache. In your installation I would expect it to be in /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf If it's not there, try

find * | grep httpd.conf

which might show it somewhere else. If it hasn't been installed anywhere there was something wrong with the installation - try reinstalling apache. In fact, since it's only just installed, it really should be able to find httpd.conf without you doing anything: it might be worth reinstalling anyway. Up to you.
