To find out the version of Apache installed on a Linux or Unix system, you can use the httpd
command with the -v
option. Here’s the syntax:
httpd -v
This will print the Apache version number to the console. For example:
Server version: Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS)
Server built: Sep 7 2019 08:04:56
If the httpd
command is not found, you can try using apache2
instead:
apache2 -v
This should print the Apache version number on the screen, for example:
Server version: Apache/2.4.41 (Ubuntu)
Server built: 2021-08-19T15:47:28
