Hi,
I am following the Quickstart Guide for installing NAGIOS using http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/quickstart-ubuntu.html
.
One of the prerequisites is Apache2, which I installed, and was
successful in getting "It Works!!" for http://127.0.0.1.
However, I am unable to understand which one of 'apache2.conf' &
'httpd.conf' happens to be the server's config file. Some say, it is
'apache2.conf', and others say, 'httpd.conf'.
Because you installed from source, you want /usr/local/apache2/conf/
httpd.conf. The ubuntu package (from APT) uses /etc/apache2/
apache2.conf.

I installed Ubuntu 8.10 desktop OS in my VMWare. I also installed
Apache2.2.9 using the apache2-2.2.9.orig.tar.gz file.
"ps -ef | grep httpd" shows the result below.
"root 17723 1 0 05:51 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/apache2/
bin/httpd -k start" followed by a couple of lines for the daemon
service holding different PIDs. The httpd.pid file under '/usr/local/
apache2/logs' shows '17723' as above.

When I stop the service by issuing the command '/usr/local/apache2/
bin/apachectl -k stop', I do not find any result for "ps -ef | grep
httpd". Neither does http://127.0.0.1 work. The httpd.pid file under
'/usr/local/apache2/logs' no longer exists.

Excerpt from the error_log file under '/usr/local/apache2/logs':
[notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down
[notice] Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) configured -- resuming normal operations
Looking at the description above, can I say that Apache is installed
correctly?
Yes.
Also, the website https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/serverguide/C/httpd.html
talks about editing the config file apache2.conf. Is it true in
case of Apache on Ubuntu 8.* as well?
Yes, but only for the ubuntu packages (from APT).
