install httpd to web server

[mia456789@yahoo.com.hk]

I hv a mysql 4 run on RH linux server , the default apache service is
running , now I want to install the httpd rpm to the server because
the ARCserve backup software need to install it first , I just want to
ask if I install the httpd to the server but not start it , will it
affect the setting / o peration of the web server , I am afraid the
setting will be changed after install the httpd ? thx

AFAICT, your question seems to have nothing to do with MySQL. I suggest
that you might find better results from more expert people by asking
your question on a newsgroup more specific to Apache and/or Linux, such
as comp.infosystem s.www.servers.unix, comp.os.linux.s etup,
redhat.rpm.gene ral, etc.

It is customary for install tools of Apache to not overwrite httpd.conf,
where most Apache configuration is recorded. But installing the Apache
RPM could overwrite other files which might result in compatibility
problems.

I haven't used ARCserve. I'm assuming ARCserve has a dependency on
Apache because ARCserve has a web-based backup administration interface.
Is there equivalent non-web-based admin functionality? You could try
installing the ARCserve RPM with -f (force install regardless of
unsatisfied dependencies) and use only the CLI-based features.
Or try to tinker with your default Apache httpd.conf to enable the
ARCserve web interface.
