Open the terminal and type: 

apache2 -v

-v Print the version of apache2, and then exit.

From the terminal you can enter: (lowercase -v)

apachectl -v

or to get even more compile info on Apache enter: (uppercase -V)

apachectl -V

of course as mention by @karel you can also use apache2 instead of apachectl... just giving an alternative. This worked for me in Ubuntu 18.04 and I'm using Apache 2.4.37.

  • this was a solved question from march 2015. why and how is your alternative answer any useful ? – Ali Çarıkçıoğlu Feb 11 '19 at 21:09
  • I guess if you run the same command twice, you get a different result? – Charles Green Feb 11 '19 at 22:26
  • One is a lowercase v and the other is an uppercase V which could be different levels of verbosity for apachectl, but I can't find any indication these flags exist in the manpage. – Kristopher Ives Feb 13 '19 at 06:14

    @Ali Çarıkçıoğlu, well for one thing karel's solution didn't work for me at all with Apache 2.2.22 (not pre-installed). Both solutions from god_is_love were very useful for me. – MiB Mar 12 '19 at 03:08
  • This solution also helped us (and the first didn't). Admittedly, this isn't on ubuntu 14.04, but the title didn't disclose that, and we ended up here nonetheless. – abathur Mar 22 '19 at 14:29

if you have PHP installed with you apache2, you can find it in $_SERVER variable or with phpinfo() function:

<?php
var_dump($_SERVER);
phpinfo();

returns (on my computer):

'SERVER_SIGNATURE' => string '<address>Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu) Server …</address>
'SERVER_SOFTWARE' => string 'Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu)'

# and in phpinfo arrays:
apache2handler
Apache Version  Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu)
