I currently have Hiawatha 10.1 installed but have a very custom configuration setup and would like to know what the best way to update to Hiawatha 10.4 would be without disrupting my custom conf?

I have tried to follow what you said here [www.hiawatha-webserver.org] but it just reinstalled Hiawatha with version 10.4, now my problem is that I cant figure out how I originally setup my custom configuration and how to point Hiawatha 10.4 to that new configuration.
Here is how my custom configuration is setup;
My directory tree looks like this;

Backup your files, then build and install v10.4 as you did with v10.1.
