well ... as to "where" your current installation is, that depends on whether
it was installed using rpm or if it was manually installed from tar file. If
rpm, then just do "rpm -qa | grep apache". this will tell you whether
there's an rpm install, then you can use different rpm commands to get the
details.

If it was a manual install, it probably gets in /usr/local/apache; but you
can type "locate apache" or "locate httpd.conf" and peruse through the
output for the details.

Now ... as far as "installing over" the current installation, well, here
again you've got two choices. You can do an "rpm upgrade" or a manual
upgrade. It'll overwrite your current installation with the exception of
your current configuration files, which it will keep or save backups of. So
you don't have to worry about accidentally erasing anything.
