I am no Apache expert, but  will try to explain.
1) Loading parcel SeasideForWebToolkit creates a default VisualWorks 
HTTP Web Server.
First thing to do it to get rid of it. Click the "Globe" icon in the 
Launcher, select the 8008 entry,
shut it down and delete the server.
2) Create a new server and select type=IPWebListener on port 2223, then 
start it.
3) Copy the CGI perl script from 
$(VISUALWORKS)/waveserver/Waverelay/perl/visualworks.pl
into $(APACHE2)/cgi-bin
4) Read $(VISUALWORKS)/waveserver/Waverelay/perl/readme/txt and tweak 
the Apache
configuration files, this was the tough part for me. You may have to 
install Perl if you do not
have it yet.
5) Then from your browser : 
http://localhost/cgi-bin/visualworks.pl/seaside/go/counter
Good luck,
Michel.
