NEWBIE QUESTIONS

Hi I am a PC engineer learning Linux/apache for an upcoming job

1) I am running a Debian system and everything is called apache2
rather than httpd.

eg /etc/init.d/apache2 start|stop|restart
ps ax shows /usr/sbin/apache2 etc

is this the same for all installations of apache2 or do some still use
httpd ?

2) where is my main config file ? is it /etc/apache2/apache2.conf ?

3) when i start appache i get the following warning

apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified
domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName

thanks in advance
