Ok, so I tried upgrading from

httpd-2.0.46-32.ent rpm to
httpd-2.0.50-1.0.i386.rpm

In the process it said I had to fill the requirements
apr-0.9.4-2.src.rpm
libapr0-2.0.50-1.i586.rpm

I restarted apache ( /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart )

And there were no errors. When I tried to view it through the browser 
however, nothing happened, and the error-log said this:

The only thing in there that looks like an error to me is the
child pid 6887 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) line.  Do the other 
lines mean I have to fix somehting? or are they just informational 
messages?

Is there something else i have to install with this version of apache? 
Or do I have to upgrade anything else also?
I searched for the segment fault message in the archives, and it seems 
like every time someone had this problem, there was also a clue as to 
what else should be fixed, I don't see any in my case.

Regards,
Kevin

These look like SuSE packages and it's highly likely they won't work
correctly on RHEL3.  The RHEL3 test update packages available here
include the mod_cgi changes necessary to handle stderr correctly:

http://people.redhat.com/jorton/Taroon-httpd/

Completely remove any SuSE packages you've installed first before
installing these, "rpm --erase --nodeps libapr0 httpd".

Regads,

joe

The other messages are normal.

If I were you, I'd report this to the supplier of the rpm. 
Segmantation fault means "something really bad happened".  Sometimes
you get also get a core dump (see the CoreDumpDirectory directive)
which can pinpoint the source of the problem.  Otherwise, you are left
searching randomly (you can start by disabling all but the most basic
modules to try to identify if the problem is caused by a specific
problem).
