And how did you install Apache? From the Red Hat 9 installation files, or
from the Apache website, or both? I'd imagine that the Red Hat 9 supplied
files would install to where I mentioned, and Apache supplied ones could be
anything.

I don't think there is a *one* correct answer. But since Red Hat 9 Linux
is discontinued, my guess would be to use what the Apache website offers,
and hope that they're consistent in what they do for each subsequent
update.
I've already outlined mine, and that's the same for Red Hat 8 and 9 Linux,
and Fedora Core 1, 2, & 3, so far...

Might be worth uninstalling the lot, and just install once from one
location. Then hopefully you're not getting confused by two different
things messing with each other.
