to answer my own query, but I thought the answer might be helpful to newbies
like me.

When you load apache as part of the Red Hat 6.2 package it loads it as
compiled with no source code.  Therefore, you can't point to the source code
and recompile it for something like perl or php.

I am removing apache and downloading the source code and starting over.

Subject: configuring apache for php


I was trying to follow the instructions from our CNHLUG meeting on
configuring my Apache server for php and mysql when I ran into a little
trouble.  The one main difference in the setup was that I had set up Apache
during the initial setup of Red Hat 6.2.

The configure instructions went like this:

cd php-3.0.16
./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.12 --with-mysql=/opt/SOUPmysql
make
make install

I didn't quite know how to write the configure line so I tried using the
default apache directory:

./configure --with-apache=../httpd --with-mysql=/opt/SOUPmysql

and got the 'Invalid Apache directory - unable to find httpd.h under
../httpd' error

Can I use the apache originally set up with Red Hat 6.2?
How?
If not, how do I uninstall it?
