I think it is not so important to call Apache web server as apache2 in any distribution.
The truth is that the proper name of Apache Web Server is httpd which is why Apache Software Foundation call by this name. -Anam ________________________________ From: Mathijs <mathijs...@gmail.com> To: users@httpd.apache.org Cc: julioser...@gmail.com Sent: Tuesday, 6 March 2012, 3:19 Subject: Re: [users@httpd] What's the name of the http server on my Ubuntu: httpd or apache2? The Debian/Ubuntu distributions, or rather their Apache HTTPD package maintainers, have renamed the binary to apache2, amongst other modifications. This was mainly done to differentiate between Apache 1.x and Apache 2.x, but its use is mostly void nowadays.
