Apache config question

After having some problems, someone installed Apache 1.3.17 on this machine I'm using along with php 4.0.4pl1. Now, the issue is that there exists a /usr/local/apache directory and a /usr/local/apache--enable-module=ssl directory (obviously you can see what happened here...) Apache is running out of the wacky directory (it seems it was installed more recently) and I can't seem to get it to look at /usr/local/apache. I tried changing all the config files I could find to /usr/local/apache. I renamed the wacky directory and tried to start Apache using the normal location but it wouldn't start because something is still looking at /usr/local/apache--enable-module=ssl. Do I have to reinstall to fix this problem? forgive me if this is a stupid question, i'm a bit of a newbie regarding this installation stuff on Linux.

thanks in advance.

You or whoever that person is shouldn't install Apache to /usr/local/apache in the first place. Start here -> http://forums.devshed.com/showthread.php?threadid=10786 to find out why.

Not exactly. You should remove everything, then reinstall from scratch.

thanks! I removed it all, re-installed everything and got rid of those annoying redundant directories.

fixed a couple of other weird problems I was experiencing too...
