Hi Todd'

"RMP uninstall" looks like you uninstalled apache?
Did you install a new version in another place than the default?

What happens when you try these commands:

rpm -qa | grep apache

or

rpm -qa | grep httpd

I mention both bacaue I'm not sure it you installed 1.3.28 or the new
one 2.0.47?
If you installed version 2 and did not specify a "PREFIX" it will
install to:
/usr/local/apache2

I hope this helps you;
