Upgrading rpm installation from source 1

[sleipnir214]

I have a server running Apache on RedHat 7.3. Apache was installed from rpm. I want to upgrade from source, and I would like to keep files where they are now.

Can anyone point me to a document which will tell me the parameters to pass to the configure command to match the file locations used by RedHat's rpms? ______________________________________________________________________

The source comes with a file named config.layout, this contains a layout for an RPM like installation.
Just add --with-layout=RedHat to your other configure parameters. //Daniel
