[lug] Upgrading Apache 2.0.40 rpm to 2.0.50 compiled from source

[Bill Thoen]

I'm trying to set up the latest version of PHP to plug a recently 
discovered security gap, but it complained about my Apache 2.0.40 being 
too old (it wants 2.0.44 or higher) I'm using RH 9.0 and this version of 
Apache was installed from rpm as part of the 9.0 package. I've now got 
Apache ver 2.0.55 source code as a tarball and am ready to build it.

My question is should I unistall the current httpd rpms and just install 
the a freshly-compiled new version, or will the new version cleanly 
overwrite the old?
