If there is a reason to force the installation, there is a problem.
Version checks are in place for a reason.

You are not supposed to access this file directly. Midgard uses it
internally.

The file exists. The message from apache is just its' own way of saying
it
has no way to verify who the user is.

Yup, that's fine.

The rpm install preconfigures the httpd.conf and prepares the database
dump. Although the database dump is ready to be loaded and all should
work after loading it, the installation does not touch your database
since
it has no way of knowing whether you have data in it that it would
clobber.

Load the database, then attempt to access http://<yourmachinename>/
The MP install takes the machine name from what 'hostname' returns.
Localhost will not work, unless you explicitly configure an entry
for it.
