but i know that this 'apacheweb' account that my mentor and i set up is a 'lab' account so if we mess anything up it shouldn't be detrimental.
Your mentor may not have expected you to have access to sudo -- when you use it, you're no longer apacheweb. Unless apacheweb is the name of the VM and not just an account in it. Ask your mentor.
That you were able to install gcc with yum tells me that you can almost certainly install apache using the same system. There's no need to compile and install it manually the way you're doing, this generally isn't done unless you have very specific needs -- latest greatest bugfix version, etc. The yum version probably has modifications and init scripts specific to your system.
