[users@httpd] What's the name of the http server on my Ubuntu: httpd or apache2?
I'm very puzzled with this simple question: the name of the http server is httpd
or apache2?
This is because, all apache documentation, in http.apache.org, refers to it as
"httpd", however in my Ubuntu installation it appears to be "apache2".
Were not I someone that has some idea of this, I would be certainly lost.
I don't know who to blame for this: Apache, Ubuntu or both?
Do you have any comments?
Thanks,
-Sergio.

Yes and I have long believed they need to be called to task on this.
The Web Server software "httpd", hence why the source code released in
httpd-x.xx.xx. Apache is the Foundation name and is not the project
name, in their way of thinking, are they are going to call OpenOffice
apache3.4 when its released in coming months....

We also let anyone who builds it specify the name of the binary, so
it's not all that egregious.

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.

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.
Some other changes and layout peculiarities are listed here: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/DebianDeb0rkification
