Configuring Apache/PHP

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-so
make
make install
vi /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
Add the places from the webpages - usually this will not actually be in the same place as you are running apache and it is most commonly /var/www/html

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl -k start

Upgrading

copy the config.nice file from the working version of the server to the new version directory. Use a new prefix and a different port to test the configuration - change the Listen directive to specify the new port.
./config.nice
make
make install
usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl -k graceful-stop
usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl -k start
add a call to apachectl to the rc.local file so that it autostarts.
