Hi I am a PC engineer learning Linux/apache for an upcoming job

1) I am running a Debian system and everything is called apache2
rather than httpd.

eg /etc/init.d/apache2 start|stop|restart
ps ax shows /usr/sbin/apache2 etc

is this the same for all installations of apache2 or do some still use
httpd ?

2) where is my main config file ? is it /etc/apache2/apache2.conf ?

3) when i start appache i get the following warning

apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified
domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName

thanks in advance

I think that's a special of Debian, since on RedHat is still httpd.

Sounds like it, ask apache himself: apache2 -V should tell you

That means "hey, there is no DNS or something is preventing me to
understand the hostname of this machine, so I'll use 127.0.0.1 instead"
is not an error, is just a warning.
