[users@httpd] Question regarding OS support for Apache version 2.2.21....
Hello all
I want to know if httpd version 2.2.21 is supported on older versions of
Linux? Example Fedora 8 running on 32bit kernel.

If you aren't installing an rpm (and you can try the current source
rpms for fun), but building from our 'generic' tarball, you will
probably want to uninstall first to avoid conflicts. The paths and
locations are different for the generic package. wiki.apache.org/httpd/
has some notes on different linux conventions.

Thanks Mark

plan on uprading it. Currently I have the following Apache version
installed and running.

What, specifically, do you mean by "is supported"?
If you mean, "will it compile and run without trouble, compared to other
versions of Apache HTTP Server?" then the answer is "yes, it should".
If you mean, "can I ask questions about it here?" then the answer is
"yes".
If you mean "is this version distributed by the Fedora Project for
Fedora 8, and will they update and maintain a package for it?" then the
answer is "no". In fact, Fedora 8 itself is no longer supported by the
Fedora Project: Fedora 8 reached its end of life on January 7th, 2009.
If you want to run a version of Fedora that is supported by the Fedora
Project then you should use Fedora 16.
