You do not mention which version of Linux you are running, so I will
give instructions for RedHat v6.2.
The start up file for httpd(Apache) is most likely
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd. That file is pointing to the directory of the
old installation of Apache, possibly /home/httpd. Your new version is
in /usr/local/apache, simply point the startup file to the new directory
and you should be all set. It looks like this: PATH=/old/path/to/httpd,
change it to PATH=/new/path/to/httpd. Removing the old version on Apache
can be done with rpm -e, or you can delete the directory manually. Do
not change chkconfig, or else your new installation will not start.
Reboot is not necessary. Kill the old running version, and restart the
new. Use this command to restart. /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart.
Assuming the startup file exists.
