What errors does httpd give when you try to start?

Try 'rpm -e apache'. With rpm's you don't uninstall a file, you uninstall
a package.

It's not difficult once you get used to it and there are tools such as Red
Carpet and RedHat Update that can do most of it for you. Besides it's
better than having no way to fix your problem.. the M$ way. ;)

I'd suggest looking at Ximian's Red Carpet. It'll help you out a lot. It's
the ebst upgrade tool I've used I think. Otherwise if you installed it
RedHat does come with an upgrade utility but I don't really like it much.
