It seems that in one of your previous FTP sessions you created otrs-2.0.4-01.i386.rpm.1 by downloading otrs-2.0.4-01.i386.rpm while you already had a file by that name in the download directory. You might then have installed the 'old' rpm again. Anyway, after my steps you should be installing the correct version. You can delete the .rpm. 1 file anyhow.

This seems very strange. What does 'service httpd status' say? Maybe you have some sort of strange custom httpd setup that OTRS doesn't detect. What does 'rpm -q httpd' say? Nils Breunese.
