source for FC14 apache 2.2.17

[dpZ38]

I want to recompile apache so I can select a different MPM compile time option. I have looked in the graphical application manager, but I don't see a development version of apache like you do for many of the packages.

Am I not looking in the right place for the source code for the Apache 2.2.17 available with FC14?

Alternatively, I can download the source from apache.org for 2.2.17. However, the install options default to a host of different directories than the FC14 version does. Being somewhat OCD I hate to mess up my FC14 system by installing to a bunch of anomalous directories, and I don't want to break anything.

I can change the default install directories, if I knew what the FC14 apache 2.2.17 was compiled with. Any ideas are appreciated.

There is an httpd-devel-2.2.17-1 package. But the description makes it sound like it is for developing additional modules. I want to recompile the main httpd-2.2.17-1 package. Does anyone know if this is a possibility?

Thanks.

Incidentally, it is not necessary to recompile Apache in order to reset the MPM option even though this is what you are led to believe by reading documentation at apache.org.

This configuration can be altered by editing the file at /etc/sysconfig/httpd as long as your instance of httpd is not running. It is worth noting here that if you switch from prefork MPM to worker MPM you can not use something like php because neither it or worker MPM is thread safe.
