When I logged in to an EC2 instance created by someone else to host Apache HTTP Server I cannot run any of common Apache commands but the Apache is running:

$ ps -aux | grep apache
jimble   22250  0.0  0.0  12944   864 pts/0    S+   02:28   0:00 grep --color=auto apache

How is this possible? Where is the Apache executable?

$ apache2
The program 'apache2' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt install apache2-bin

$ httpd
No command 'httpd' found, did you mean:
 Command 'http' from package 'httpie' (universe)
 Command 'xttpd' from package 'xtide' (universe)
httpd: command not found

$ cat /etc/os-release

That's not apache. That's grep - the very grep you ran there. This is why pgrep exists.

  • is correct apache is not running on your server but if you still want to check the status then run this command : systemctl status apache2 – asmath May 24 '21 at 05:37
