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.

i would install either 1.3.26 or 1.3.27 both of which are the latest

I want to upgrade my web server, but I can't seem to locate the current installation path. I know it has changed since rh6.2, but to what?
Also, will I need to delete the current install, or will I

be able to

install apache 2.0 over the 1.3.x currently on the machine?

Thanks for the tip. What about installing over the current installation? And where exactly is that current installation?

The original installation was whatever the RH install CD does. I was planning to do the upgrade manually.

Looks like the installation is in /usr/lib/apache, with some other files in other various places.

So, if I understand you, then I should be able to build my own package, direct it to install in /usr/lib/apache over the existing installation which should maintain my current config.

However, I can't seem to find the command to stop the server. I thought /usr/lib/apachectl stop would do it, but that doesn't work. What should I be using?
