Apache Question

Ok I have had some major help on this and I would like to thank all of those who answered my earlier posts but now I am running into a new problem

You now have successfully built and installed the |
| Apache 1.3 HTTP server. To verify that Apache actually |
| works correctly you now should first check the |
| (initially created or preserved) configuration files |
| |
| /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
| |
| and then you should be able to immediately fire up |
| Apache the first time by running: |
| |
| /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start
| |
| Thanks for using Apache. The Apache Group |
| http://www.apache.org/ |
+--------------------------------------------------------+
[root@localhost apache_1.3.32]# cd /usr/local/apache
[root@localhost apache]# /usr/local/apache/bin/apachect1 start

I have told it to start or at least I think I have but it keeps telling me Folder or File not found.

So where do I go from here? I still have the terminal up and I am running RedHat 9 with the KDE desktop

IT tells me that folder or file dont exist and I used apache_1.3.x.x although I do have httpd I am just going off the instructions I got form another user

If you could give me in detail all the directions to install this I would thank you very much

. I will give you full details

I am running an HP NetServer with 1.0 ghz PIII RedHat 9 Kernal 2.4.x.x

I have 2 diff versions of Apache one in a folder called httpd.tar.gz and one called Apache 1.3.x.x installer.tar.gz or whatever I dont know them exactly but yeah Which should I use what are the commands other than

Tar -xzvf filename

Thats all I want to know

Also I have this server connected behind a Windows Box which is Hooked up to a Router so I know that I am going to have to do Port Forwarding but how do I get it past the Windows box it is behind?

PS. I am also wondering if by /usr do you want me to put in the User name or to keep it as usr because if so this could be what is causing my problems? I keep typing it as usr so if I have to do as /root or something could that be the problem?
