Dale, Try following Luc de Louw's tutorial at http://www.delouw.ch/linux/apache.phtml
As long as you don't start any daemons or reboot the system, you won't affect operation of the live webserver, as far as I can imagine. You might also just get the RPMs from RedHat and use those instead; just make sure to download the RH7.2 RPMs, not the latest ones.

I would like to upgrade to the latest version of php but encounter many problems - mostly dependancies. I am trying to figure out how to accomplish this without totally messing my my live server. I am using apache 1.3.x (I am also looking into upgrading this to the latest 1.3 version). Should I upgrade apache or php first? I have no problem building php and apache instead of using the rpm's.
