Apache

This is probably the wrong mailing list but in the end I guess I'll end up here. I have given up on thinking of installing an RPM version of PHP. So I thought I would download the source for MySQL, Apache, and PHP. And then build them. Well I started with Apache (I already have a running copy but I have no idea how it was installed as I did not do it - it was oh my god... cihost, anyways :-) I went through and unzipped it then use the tar xvf command. So it was in an uncompressed directory. Then I ran: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache make make install Great it installed apache and I checked over the new httpd.conf file and it seemed to have all the correct information in it. Then I tried to stop apache using apachectl stop but realized the only copy of it was the new one installed, so I ran it from there, and it said nothing was running so I ran apachectl start from the newly installed version and guess what the old version is still running. So for the hell of it I tried httpd.restart and httpd.reload - still no luck. Any ideas?? After I take it the next logical step (after installing a new version of Apache) is to install MySQL and then PHP right?
