You probably want to become familiar with gdb.

In the case of httpd, you want to learn the -X flag to avoid
forking off the child processes (run only one which you can
single step).  Or become adept with breakpoints against the
forked and multithreaded code :)

And read http://httpd.apache.org/dev/debugging.html

Best of luck,

Bill
