I downloaded the latest/greatest from apache. According to in Apache
install guide, unless I specified a specific directory, Apache installs
in /usr/local/apache2 (the default, or PREFIX) as it is referred to in
the install docs.

I did look in the RH directories after I did the install and did not
find any appache files...then again, I was not sure where to look...I
basically tried to browse them all....
There should be an install log on RH9 but I don't know where it is...

I suspect that as well...I just wanted to know what one(s) would be OK

I know that RH9 is EOLed...Just out of curiosity, how is it
'upgraded'?... by installing FC x? Doing kernel compiles ala the older
Slackware and Infomagic distributions?

I hope I fixed the message posting...thanks for your .
BTW, I relocated my webpages to /var/www/html and things work just
fine...but I still dont understand what happened to
/usr/local/apache2....oh well...
