How is Apache currently compiled?

[jongag1]

Is it somehow possible to find out how my current Apache (version 2.0.40) is compiled/installed?

I want to upgrade to the latest version and was hoping there might be something like php has with phpinfo() which displays the current config.

I looked at

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/install.html#upgrading

and unfortunately I don't have the source tree from my last installation for the config.nice file. I tried upgrading with only the configure command and it installed Apache in a different folder and I guess it is not a good idea to have 2 apaches running at the same time (for testing by the way it is okay!).

You can find out what modules have been compiled in by typing "httpd -l" or get a little more info with "httpd -V".

Tnx RhythmAce! I now have some more information.
Unfortunately I am not ablo to upgrade the running version.
There are many (symbolic) links to other paths, which is making it unclear for me what to do...

I extracted the latest Apache version in /tmp/httpd-2.0.48
I know I am not good at this... As mentioned above I was able to get the new version running at a different location but there php isn't working.

Why is it so hard to upgrade... In other words is somebody willing to give me some guidelines (step by step because I am a newbie)?

httpd -l gave me:
Compiled in modules:
core.c
prefork.c
http_core.c
mod_so.c

httpd -V gave me:
