Re: adding new modules in apache

[nlimbu healthnet org np]

Hi Dimitrios Stergiou,

I have installed new httpd server in new folder /usr/local/httpd from httpd*.tar.gz file. 
But while removing the previous installed httpd with rpm -e, I got message of 
dependencies saying about the different program like mailman, redhat-config-httpd, 
mod_ssl, squirrelmail requires this program httpd. 

Now, my questions is: 
1) if I remove the previous httpd server forcefully then how can I again make link or 
dependencies for all this program with new httpd server installed in /usr/local/httpd.

With Regards
