    The packages are located in the directory

    apache-1.3.23-138.i386.rpm

    cp -f /etc/httpd/httpd.conf /etc/httpd/php.ini /tmp
    
  4. Install each package with
    rpm -Uhv --force --nodeps PACKAGE_NAME
    

    or, provided you have saved these packages (and only these packages!) in a directory, with
    rpm -Uhv --force --nodeps *.rpm
    
  5. Copy the config files back
    cp -f /tmp/httpd.conf /tmp/php.ini /etc/httpd
