I have Linux Mint on my computer but I don't know how to find out whether Apache2 is on it or where it is actually installed. I run my web browser (PHP installed) with http://localhost as a URL and it works.

I would recommend
dpkg --get-selections | grep apache
It lists all installed packages that contain "apache" in their name. For example:
apache2 install
apache2-doc install
apache2-mpm-prefork install
apache2-utils install
apache2.2-bin install
apache2.2-common install
libapache2-mod-php5 install
libapache2-svn install
It indicates that the package apache2 is installed on the system.
Another approach, to find any running HTTP daemon on the default port would be:
sudo lsof -nPi | grep ":80 (LISTEN)"
Which lists something like:
apache2 1026 root 4u IPv6 3739 0t0 TCP *:80 (LISTEN)
apache2 3966 www-data 4u IPv6 3739 0t0 TCP *:80 (LISTEN)
apache2 4014 www-data 4u IPv6 3739 0t0 TCP *:80 (LISTEN)
apache2 4015 www-data 4u IPv6 3739 0t0 TCP *:80 (LISTEN)
apache2 4016 www-data 4u IPv6 3739 0t0 TCP *:80 (LISTEN)

-bash: dpkg: command not found is the above done in a certain directory? – elliotrock – 2017-06-19T01:04:48.907
@elliotrock No, try running it with sudo. – Der Hochstapler – 2017-06-19T09:03:23.327
-bash: dpkg: command not found same error on aws linux even tried with sudo. – Krishnadas PC – 2018-07-04T12:28:11.897
1This question is about Linux Mint. Using dpkg on platforms that don't have it is pointless. – Der Hochstapler – 2018-07-04T12:39:13.280

Try the which command:
# which apache2
In my experience, the Apache binary is located in /usr/sbin on most installations.

4Depending on distro you might also try which with 'apache' and 'httpd' – siliconrockstar – 2015-04-24T17:00:05.210

To check whether if apache is running or not (the status), type:
sudo service apache2 status
at the command line.

This only works where Apache is installed as a (sysv etc) service; which admittedly will cover a lot of cases. – bertieb – 2015-08-24T08:03:53.450

Just do a which httpd as user root.
2Afraid to say, but on Mint (a Debian derivative) it would be apache or apache2, but not httpd ... – 0xC0000022L – 2012-02-09T14:12:11.477

As I recall, Mint is based on Ubuntu, so you should be able to check apt-cache policy apache2:
$ apt-cache policy apache2
apache2:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 2.2.20-1ubuntu1.1
Version table:
2.2.20-1ubuntu1.1 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main amd64 Packages
500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-security/main amd64 Packages
2.2.20-1ubuntu1 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages
In this case, you can see it's not installed on my system. If you haven't asked for it to be installed, it's probably not -- I doubt it's part of the default distribution.

Try this bash command:
if [[ -z $(apache2 -v 2>/dev/null) ]] && [[ -z $(httpd -v 2>/dev/null) ]]; then echo "Apache not found"; fi

As root, you can test if apache is running under process name httpd, apache, or apache2, using
ps -A | grep 'apache\|httpd'
But again, this will only find apache if the process is running.

1If works even if you are not root. – Hastur – 2015-04-24T17:17:03.953
Ah cool, wasn't sure if non-privileged users could list global processes, thanks. – siliconrockstar – 2015-04-25T02:31:31.247
you want to know the path where are the files from that site? – Francisco Tapia – 2015-04-24T17:03:25.467
what do you mean by PHP installed? – onemach – 2012-02-09T14:06:29.057
How is that related to c, c# or unix? – ThiefMaster – 2012-02-09T14:08:01.440
