Apache

[Fifield, Mike]

I am trying to install apache from source (not rpm) but after I run   ./configure make make install   I end up with all the apache files in the /usr/local/apache2 directory, and when I type "service httpd start" I get an error saying that httpd is not a service. My question is this is there a way to install packages such as apache from source when there is not current rpm package. Or does someone know where I can find rpm's that are more up to date then what is available on redhats site, ie(php version 4.2.3 and apache2.0.2).   thanks
