 Well, see if it works, and it probably will. If not, there is an easy
solution. Just do this (as root):

 cd /usr/local/
 rm -rf apache

 rpm -e php{something}
 rpm -e apache{something}
 (and the same for any dependancies)

 cd /<path to PHP and Apache tarballs>/apache_1.3.XX/
 make install
 cd ../php-4.X.X/
 make install

 This should be pretty fast because all the make install does is copy the
already compiled binaries into the right spots (in this case to
/usr/local/apache/).

Cheers,

Chris
