because this package never installs it and on the other machine you had 
a different apache installed and that's what was executed and not the 
new one, when you ran the script - You might want to check which apache 
version are you running on that other box, as well.

Did you copy your httpd.conf file from the older install of apache from 
this or another box and that still has the root set incorrectly?
