I deleted the httpd daemon and all of the front page stuff I could find.
I --forced installation of the apache rpm and that replaced the httpd stuff
finally. httpd started and stopped just fine after that. Microsoft says the
fp install script can't read server or document root paths enclosed in
quotes in the httpd.conf so I removed them and the install went perfectly.
