This is the simpler case, since the standard release includes a suitable
version of Apache 2.0: just install the gridsite-...-1.i386.rpm to get the
various GridSite components.

tar.gz and .spec files distributed by the
Apache Foundation itself, using the
/usr/share/doc/gridsite directory. The Apache RPMs install in /usr, and you
should at least install the httpd and mod_ssl RPMs.
You must also install the gridsite-...-1.i386.rpm as above.
