I've never installed apache, but if it's like most gnu software with
configure scripts, you can use it to specify where the files will be
installed.
e.g.,
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
is the default for most gnu software so the binary files will go in
/usr/local/bin and the library files will go in /usr/local/lib, etc.
If you're happy with the default location you probably don't need to
do anything and can just execute: ./configure
