Will it keep the old php settings?

You can modify what php modules you want by sellecting advanced. I would suggest you not install mbstring as it has some very annoying issues in the 4.2.3 php release.

If you are at all wary about running buildapache, I would suggest keeping an old version on the server in case you run into trouble. Then, once your run buildapache and it works, replace the old copy with the one you just built. That way you know you'll always be able to revert if something goes horribly wrong.

A couple of times I have run it and httpd would not start after it was done. I had to go through and comment a bunch of stuff out of httpd.conf and then got it to run... but It sure was nice knowing I had a 'security blanket' in case things went sour...

So.. just make a back up of apache?

thanks
