I tried to reply to this yeterday afternoon and the reply hasn't come
through. Since no-one else has replied in the meantime I'll repost ..:
I am not an expert but I THINK this is the answer to your question.
"make install" *will* overwrite /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd and the other
binaries and scripts ( which on my installation included ab, apachectl,
apxs, dbmmanage, htdigest, htpasswd, logresolve and rotatelogs).
/usr/local/apache/conf/*.conf will not be overwritten, instead
additional sets with an altered filename (.default added) will appear
there.
To preserve your 1.3.9 installation in case you have a problem, take a
backup copy of /usr/local/apache/bin.
Someone else who knows more than me will no doubt advise that following
http://www.modssl.org/example/ is probably not a good idea - it really is
just an example but you're probably missing some configuration options that
you might want (eg. MM shared memory libary, DSO support) or (depending
upon your home jurisdiction) might need (eg RSAref). See
