Two items: (1) You might want to experiment with this upgrade plan
before trying it on a production machine. You could load Linux on a spare
computer and experiment there. That's what I'm doing (and I am also deploying
to SunOS). (2) You probably need to do a *LOT* more research and reading. See
specifics below.

You probaby do not need to run a "configure/make/make install" to
install the JSDK, but I would not put it into the same directory as apache.
When I installed the JSDK, I put it in /usr/local/jsdk2.0.

Not necessarily. The JDK (at least not the one I'm using, which is
1.1.7) does NOT include the JSDK 2.0. At one time, Sun may have planned to
include the JSDK in later versions of the JDK. Sun's JDK 1.3 (just released)
may include it -- I don't know.

The biggest problem that I experienced with installing Apache JServ
was
my limited knowledge of Apache. I underestimated how much I needed to know
about Apache. There are several books on Apache. See, for example, Peter
Wainwright, "Professional Apache." I do not know this book well enough to
recommend it. See the reviews at fatbrain.com and Amazon.com.

You definitely want to backup httpd.conf and all .htaccess files.
Maybe
others, too: jserv.conf and jserv.properties.
