I've been able to compile PHP4.03pl1 into Apache 1.3.19 on a RaQ2, but not
PHP4.04pl1.  Perhaps it's b/c of the many PHP options I compiled - I'm
waiting until PHP4.05 is released (should be in the next week or two) before
I try upgrading on a RaQ2.  When compiling Apache, stop after 'make'.  Do
not do a 'make install'.  After 'make' just stop Apache, copy htppd from the
src directory to /usr/sbin/httpd and then restart Apache.  There is nothing
that has to be cleared out.

'htppd -v' will report the version #.  Here it is from a RaQ2 I was working
on last night.

[root@ns /root]# httpd -v
Server version: Apache/1.3.19 (Unix)
Server built:   Apr 23 2001 20:39:44
