I did the following as instructed in the docs. (see below)
everything seemed to install ok
and I started apache with no complaints, but,

1)I do not see a process for apache using ps -ef
2) In yast I see that the new apache2 version is installed but not
php5, its still on php4

any ideas ??

1. gzip -d httpd-2_0_NN.tar.gz
2. tar xvf httpd-2_0_NN.tar
3. gunzip php-NN.tar.gz
4. tar -xvf php-NN.tar
5. cd httpd-2_0_NN
6. ./configure --enable-so
7. make
8. make install

    Now you have Apache 2.0.NN available under /usr/local/apache2,
    configured with loadable module support and the standard MPM
prefork.
    To test the installation use your normal procedure for starting
    the Apache server, e.g.:
    /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start
    and stop the server to go on with the configuration for PHP:
    /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl stop.

9. cd ../php4-NN
10. ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs
11. make
12. make install
13. cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini

    Edit your php.ini file to set PHP options. If
    you prefer this file in another location, use
    --with-config-file-path=/path in step 10.

14. Edit your httpd.conf file and check that these lines are
    present:

   LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so
   AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

  You can choose any extension you wish here. .php is simply the one
  we suggest.

  The path on the right hand side of the LoadModule statement must
point
  to the path of the PHP module on your system. The above statement is
  correct for the steps shown above.

15. Use your normal procedure for starting the Apache server, e.g.:
   /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start
