Make backup copies of all your important configuration files, just in 
case the RPM scripts trash something they shouldn't or make assumptions 
that don't apply. My experience has been that the rate of snafus is 
higher as your box gets further away from a vanilla, non-customized 
install (and the assumptions that RH makes that you have a vanilla 
install).

Read the advice on migrating from Apache 1.3 to 2.x at
