Fiber-Hosting recommends downloading the latest stable release. The best place to get Apache is from the Apache HTTP Server download site listed below.

  1. gunzip -d httpd-*_*_**.tar.gz
  2. tar xvf httpd-*_*_**.tar
  3. Once files are uncompressed you will need cd into the Apache dir and type ./configure
