For one thing, you need to shut it down, then kill anything left over.
Then you need to build a new .conf. I may be wrong - help me out, folks,
was 4.x still on apache 1.x, or was it up to 2.0? Anyway, there are
probably modules that aren't there anymore, replaced by others.

With that big a jump, you should never just assume that a conf file from
years ago will work without modifications.
