Yes, you do, installing something like apache without telling the package
database about it is going to cause you no end of grief....

remember that other things you install depend on what version of apache is
installed, if the info in the RPM database is wrong you will be forever
arguing with it. and future OS upgrades are gonna do weird things as well

get the source RPM from cobalt and start with that, the patches in it will
also make it install in the right place after you build it...

if you (insist* on installing it without telling telling the package
manager, the answer is, no, don't uninstall the old one , apache's install
script's generally merge the old config files into the new ones, however
it's a good idea to stop the server first....

don't forget you have more than one instance of the server (eg, the GUI )

What's wrong with the php4 on cobalt's site?
