I downloaded httpd-2.0.54.tar.gz and I am using it
to replace the present version on RH-E-WS-4. My main
reason is to get --enable-ext-filter. Here is my
config command:

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-expires --enable-ext-filter
--enable-headers --enable-logio

I then:
make
make install
There is plenty of action, but my old version is not
replaced.

For what it is worth, in the make directory, I note
a new file named httpd, with a size of 6389. This
seems rather small.

Thanks in advance for your advice.
Mike.

When you run apachectl restart or /etc/init.d/httpd restart (or
whatever you do on Redhat EL), you'll be working with the version
of apache which is installed by your system via rpm (the redhat
one, the one you're trying to replace.)

It's most likely that the version you built is living in
/usr/local/apache/


If you can't remove the httpd rpms because of dependency trouble,
you are going to need to play with your system startup scripts to
use your versions of apache and remove the binaries. Using
stuff that you're building from source on a system which is
package based for everything else wont be very much fun..

Hope this information is useful,
Andy
