The instructions you read assume that Apache is compiled from the source. If you didn't, just install the httpd-devel package:

# yum -y install httpd-devel

/usr/sbin/apxs comes from this package, you can check by running:

# yum provides *bin/apxs

	ok Thank you i guess with that answer i dont need to know where the apache installation directory is , apxs is in /usr/sbin – josiland Nov 7 '11 at 10:49
	There is a difference between compiling from source and installing from binary. When you compile from source, all the binaries, libraries, ... go to the `--prefix` path or `/usr/local` by default. But if you install with `yum/rpm`, the binaries are installed to `/usr/(s)bin`, the libraries go to `/usr/lib`, ... – quanta Nov 7 '11 at 10:57

Depends on how you've installed it. Default setting is /usr/local/apache2. If it's not there you can find it with "locate apxs"

	that command display anything about apxs – josiland Nov 7 '11 at 9:43
	I don't understand your comment. If you know where apxs is, you know where APACHE_ROOT is. – moodywoody Nov 7 '11 at 9:49
	excuse my english when i put locate apxs nothing display – josiland Nov 7 '11 at 10:08
	In this case it is not installed. It's not part part of httpd rpm. – moodywoody Nov 7 '11 at 10:27
	but apart it is not installed where is Apache installation directory, – josiland Nov 7 '11 at 10:30
