We are unlikely to ever completely fix this in the public perception, but the program is "httpd", the "Apache HTTP Server". If you could all help to identify "Apache" abuse throughout the documentation and web pages, and transform those to "httpd" for shorthand, that would be a huge help.

I am still confused over when "Apache HTTP Server" and when "httpd".
Is the former just a baby step to the latter?

I wanted to do a mass sed of s/Apache 2/Apache HTTP Server 2/g, but if
"Apache HTTP Server" is only the marginally less confusing term I
didn't want the unnecessary churn.

("Apache 2" just happens to get a lot of hits and is a pretty safe expression)

What I ahve been trying to do is to use 'Apache HTTP Server (httpd)' at the beginning of a document, and 'httpd' thereafter. Perhaps Noirin can tell us what we should be doing here.

Also, should we be using particular markup, such as <code>httpd</ code>, to refer to the server?
