How to check where Apache is running or listening on Localhost

Question

I just installed Apache on my Ubuntu , But when I write localhost: it redirect me to a page.

Welcome to nginx!

If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed. and working. Further configuration is required.

So, I think on default nginx is installed. So where I can find my Apache ? And I tried localhost:8080 which redirect me to

It works !

If you're seeing this page via a web browser, it means you've setup Tomcat successfully. Congratulations!

Thanks!

Solution

"It works !" is the default page you see when Apache is installed. Not sure if other webservers use the same method though(?)

So where I can find my apache ? And I tried localhost:8080

That would be localhost:8080.

In case you want to be perfectly sure...

• lsof -i will list open ports and the corresponding applications. lsof | grep apache for apache. Similar: sudo netstat -anp | grep apache.
• See /etc/hosts for IP addresses connected to names.
• See /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ for settings about the sites that are active for Apache.
• See /etc/apache2/ports.conf for the Listen. It will have a port-number behind it. That parameter can also be in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/

If /etc/apache2/ does not exist you did not install Apache. Nginx uses /etc/nginx/sites-available and the same style paramaters.

and please confirm: nginx and apache are 2 different webservers. Tomcat is NOT installed through apache or our lamp installation. What did you install?
