What do you mean 'loads' the old httpd?  How do you start up httpd?

<aside>
[good idea for apache is to (eg you install in /usr/local) do]

	./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache-2.0.35
	[or whatever]
	make blah blah

	Then make a symlink like

		cd /usr/local
		ln -s apache-2.0.35/ apache

so you'll just have to worry about finding apache in /usr/local/apache
for startup scripts etc.

YMMV but ye probably get the idea... it at least allows you to very
quickly revert to a working server.
