I build Apache httpd into an RPM using these sites:

• http://erikwebb.net/blog/compile-and-install-apache-24-red-hat-enterprise-linux-rhel-6-or-centos-6
• http://ramblin-dude.blogspot.com/2013/04/compiling-rpm-for-httpd-on-rhel-57.html

I was successful at building apr* and httpd*. However, when I try to install httpd using

rpm -Uvh httpd-devel-2.2.25-1.x86_64.rpm httpd-2.2.25-1.x86_64.rpm mod_ssl-2.2.25-1.x86_64.rpm

I get the following error:

package mod_ssl-2.2.3-82.el5_9.x86_64 (which is newer than mod_ssl-2.2.25-1.x86_64) is already installed.

I have httpd 2.2.3-82 installed. Do I need to remove it first? Seems counterintuitive.
