This would be quite easy to do with FC4: 1. copy contens of /etc/httpd to /etc/httpd_local 2. configure /etc/sysconfig/httpd to include the "-d /etc/httpd_local" option 3. configure the /etc/httpd_local/conf/httpd.conf file to set the ServerRoot to the new httpd_local To start/stop this new instance, you can also copy the apachectl file to /usr/local/bin and start/stop it from there, or copy the /etc/init.d/httpd script to a /etc/init.d/httpd_local script (and make necessary mods) to access the apachectl local copy to start/stop the new instance. That's one way to do it, there are others.
