cd /tmp wget http://apache.mirrormax.net/httpd/httpd-2.0.58.tar.gz sudo tar -xvzf httpd-2.0.58.tar.gz cd httpd-2.0.58 sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-static-support sudo make sudo make install

If you want to move apache to a system different from the compiling system, /usr/local/apache2 should be transportable.

Startup scripts: sudo ln -s /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl /etc/init.d/httpd

For each applicable rc*.d (i.e. init 3, 5, etc) add a symlink to have apache start on boot: sudo ln -s ../init.d/httpd S50httpd
