I am installing WeBWorK 2.3 on RHEL4, and get questions on Apache2 about the "prefork MPM" which is new to me.

1. Does anyone have a procedure or script for compiling Apache2 from source with the "--with-mpm=prefork" switch?

2. Which and how many source files I need from RHEL4 CD for the rebuild to make Apache2 work with WeBWork?

3. Apache2 was installed during the RHEL4 installation in my box. Should I remove it first before I install the new compiled Apache2 package? or are there RPM options I should use in the installation to overwrite the existing one?

Thanks a lot.

Jeff

Yes, you should remove your the distribution Apache2 packages. Once you've done that, download the latest Apache2 source from http://httpd.apache.org/ and build it as described here:

You might need some libraries and development packages from RedHat. I don't know which ones.
