More info needed. First we need to know what version of Red Hat you are running. THis is needed so we can know if there is a redhat rpm of the apache version you need. Secondly, please tell me that someone else is keeping this box updated with all the security errata that have issued since whatever version of the os is being used was released. man pages are a significant source of documentation on linux. Unlike windows, there often is too much information : ) man rpm There are significant manuals on the redhat.com/support site that will walk you through a lot of stuff. PLEEEEEASE upgrade the box will all the errata. archives of this list, and many others, can be searched at marc.theaimsgroup.com.
