Use the source Luke!
Once you get the source, there are two ways to compile apache. use the new
way. Here is the rundown. Do your configure as root, otherwise your resulting
apache will default to port 8080. This can easily be fixed by editing httpd.conf
which you will want to edit anyway, but when you are kick starting it and
impatient, having a freshly installed web server on port 80 is ideal. Make
sure you have just one web server on 80. In other words, if you are replacing
an old server, shut the old one down before testing the new one on 80.
One you get the source. Do these commands
tar zxvf apache-source.tar.gz
cd apache-1.3.11
$ su
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache \
> --enable-shared=max \
> --enable-module=all
# make
# make install
# cd /usr/local/apache/bin
# ./apachectl start
That will get you going.
