One of the better places for newer releases of things like
php/mysql/httpd that are packaged for RHEL (and re-spins) is the IUS
repository, <https://iuscommunity.org/>. While I'm seeing newer
releases of httpd for RHEL-6, I don't see any for RHEL-5, but you
might want to ask. Of course, you could build an RPM from the httpd
source, (or build/install from source outside of the rpm manager).
Note, RHEL-5 is in the last ~1.5 years of its 10 year life, so you
may want to consider moving to -6 or -7.

We went from 2.2 to 2.4 and used these documents, among others Š.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/misc/perf-tuning.html
We also went from prefork/mod_php to Event MPM and php-fpm

I recently upgraded version 2.2.29 to 2.4.16 on Windows and the
procedure was pretty simple. In my case htdocs was completely separate
from the core so the upgrade was just as normal as you would install a
fresh server.
In my case, I first made the list of which modules are to be loaded; I
also made a print out of the old config file just in case I get the
folders wrong. After this you can go ahead and the configuration you
may need to do are as follows:
ServerName & port number
ServerAdmin
Config for server side includes
DirectoryIndex
Config for php and perl - for php to decide whether to run as fastCGI
or as a module
LoadModules
DocumentRoot
That is all I had to do; The php was upgraded before apache was so the
security features were already in place.
I guess in Linux environment it must be different but you get the idea.
Be organized and document everything first before starting anything.
Good luck.
