Something like

Full GNOME 2.26 installation is incompatible with Apache HTTP Server 1.3 due to 
user-share GNOME component dependency on apache22.  To resolve the issue, 
either install gnome2-lite package or upgrade apache13 to apache22.

Please note that this recommendation is not located on HTTP server home page, 
and 1.3 releases are still listed there, and not marked as "legacy"

Also, there are still rather wide set of httpd modules which are written for 
1.3 only :(
