Mmm... I haven't tried upgrading SM yet so I can only offer a stab in
the dark:
1. I think you'll need to have apache running whilst you upgrade.I'm not
aware of SM requiring any particular version of apache beyond the 1.3.x
version.
2. I can say that I've had trouble with *.noarch.rpm's before. I tend to
stick with packages supplied by my distro wherever possible to avoid
conflicts. Does the distro you're using offer a newer version of SM? SM
is very popular and i've seen packages for a few distros.
3. This /might/ actually point to a PHP version conflict. PHP is started
with Apache (unless you've installed the CLI version) and is an apache
module. So this complaint may pertain to not having the right version of
PHP installed.

These are all just wild speculations, but that's all I can offer ATM.

Good luck; sol
