I downloaded from the official web site and tar xzvf apache_1.3.23.tar.gz to direcroty /root and I got a file named"/root/apache_1.3.23".Now should I "make" it ?and I got message"no targets specified and no makefile found.Stop"."rpm -q apache",it said that"package apache not installed".What should I do to make and make install apache server.Thanks.

First of all it's better to always d/l the latest version (it's 1.3.33 for apache-1). Then change to the directory you extracted the tar.gz and run:

Code:

./configure --some-options
make
make install (as root)

You are going to install a software that need compilation
configuration before make it.

First of all, do ./configure --help in the /root/apache_1.3.23 directory
you will see all available configure options

To configure it with default options, just run :
./configure

After the software configured for compilation, you can :
make
make install
...to compile and install apache
