*note: httpd is the http Daemon, which is the part that listens for web
requests.

first get the exact name of the apache package:

[augie at goku augie]$ rpm -qa | grep apache
apache-conf-1.3.26-3mdk
apache-modules-1.3.26-6.1mdk
apache-1.3.26-6mdk
apache-common-1.3.26-6.1mdk

now let's see what is included in a specified apache package:

[augie at goku augie]$ rpm -ql apache-1.3.26-6mdk
/usr/sbin/httpd
/usr/share/doc/apache-1.3.26
/usr/share/doc/apache-1.3.26/README.ADVX

you can use the above for the rest of the packages too.

now is probably a good time to point out the man command and man pages
if you haven't already found them.

[augie at goku augie]$ man rpm

would have given you all the above switches.

augie.
