there is the redhat webstack (rhwas) code base to use.  it has newer http, 
php, mysql, postgres, etc.  i have grabbed those srpms from ftp.redhat.com 
and built my own repo.  centos has a testing repo that is doing the same 
kind of thing, but has been a bit spotty with keeping up with changes from 
upstream.  maybe that has cleared up now, but since i put the effort into 
my own repo, i haven't kept tabs.  kbsingh has talked about making a sub 
repo just for the webstack code, but i don't think that has ever happened.
