Hi Darren, I can't say much for up2date, I delete it on sight! But AFAIK its like autorpm, which is an excellent little program. I'd recommend using it (although I haven't configured it at home yet).
It sounds like you had your /etc/X11/XFree86(-4) configuration file altered as part of the update (naughty rpm -Uvh, bad!). You'll probably find it as /etc/X11/XFree86-4.rpm_save or something. I doubt up2date would alter something that isn't an RPM, but if Apache was compiled from a source RPM, then it might be monkeying around with things. HTH, Paul.
