Not sure, but search via apt-get, aptitude, etc for the package name
(I think it's "apache2") and then run 'dpkg -L' on the package - that
will list all files installed (including the binary path/name).

If you are coming from another distro, deb/ubuntu has a few
quirks/differences - the naming of the apache binary is one of them.
Coming from Fedora/CentOS/Redhat, I had to research quite a bit to get
comfortable with Ubuntu.  Personally, I still prefer redhat-like
distros for servers  - I  have more experience there and the CLI
sysadmin stuff makes more sense to me.  Plus webmin works ;)

HTH,
