I think this is a dumb question, but I couldn't find the answer in the 
apache book that i have so i'm going to ask here: when i go 'rpm -e 
apache-1.3.23'  i get
error: removing these packages would break dependencies:
        apache is needed by apacheconf-0.8.2-2
        webserver   is needed by mod_dav-1.0.3-5
        webserver is needed by mod_perl-1.26-5
        webserver is needed by mod_ssl-2.8.7-4
        webserver is needed by webalizer-2.01_10-1

How do i remove this dependencies or modules so that i can unistall the old 
version of apache?

Thus after removing the old version, i can make sure that the old version is 
gone when i got 'httpd -v' which shoudl show me that version 2 of apache is 
being used. Is that right?

Thanks again

Regards

Desmond

Remove those packages first. Or at least that's what I do. I'm not an rpm
wizard. :)

You will need to use the whole path to where apache 2.0 is installed unless
you have added it to your PATH environmental variable.

Without it in PATH:

	/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -v

To add it to your PATH (in bash):

	export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/apache2/bin

then

	httpd -v
