Apache Upgrade Problems (2 versions?)

Hello all,

I just installed Fedora Core 4 which includes Apache 2.0. I wanted to upgrade to Apache 2.2 so I downloaded the new tar file and verified it with gpg just as the Apache website said.

After that I ran:

- tar -xz -f httpd-2.2.0.tar.gz (this extracted the files to httpd-2.2.0 in the same directory)
- ./configure
- make
- make install


Ok here's my problem. The old version is still installed. Is there a way to remove it or just deal with it? Also, as it is now, I extracted the httpd file to a directory called /temp (which I made). I'm not sure where all the files are for the old version of Apache, so I have no idea where to put the new ones.

In the services GUI, is there anyway I can have the services menu point to the new httpd rather than the old, or is it already done? Is there a file that dictates what services and the paths to the executables?

dpkg ???

I was reading another post about removing packages. Would this help in my situation?

dpkg --purge <package name>

If so, how do I find out what packages I have installed on my Linux box?

Thanks

dpkg is a debain tool

I believe for redhat/fedora you would use

#rpm -U <packagename>

or if your using apt
#apt-get remove <packagename>
