I don't understand why you have to remove httpd. httpd IS Apache 2.0 (latest version)
yum remove httpd
He could also use:
rpm -e httpd
if yum hangs or complains that httpd is not installed.
Also, you can find the name of the httpd program with the following:
rpm -qa | grep apache
and use the program returned instead of httpd in the rpm -e command.
Just go to /etc/httpd/httpd.conf and change whatever you need to.
