Don't use the scripts in /sbin/init.d to start or stop
apache, that starts up the suse version. Turn apache off in
Yast. Simply start apache with apachectl start (stop,reload).
Copy apachectl to your /root/bin or put it in your
root path somewhere.

apachectl is the startup script that comes with apache and it
starts the httpd deamon in /usr/local/apache/bin. It uses the
configuration
file from /usr/local/apache/conf.
apache starts up the suse httpd daemon (location?), and it uses the
configuration file in /etc/httpd

Yep, and if you look closely at the configuration file
that comes with suse, you can see it isn't easy to
write a conf that will load the modules correctly.
I have been using the suse apache and it loads all it's
modules properly. You do need to track down the
mod_ssl.rpm, openssl.rpm, the updated jserv.rpm,
and get the jdk1.22 from sun.com
