/etc/init.d/apache2 basically just calls apache2ctl which is in /usr/sbin/apache2ctl which contains

# the path to your httpd binary, including options if necessary
HTTPD='/usr/sbin/apache2'
#
[download]

so I've found https
which apxs -> no results
which apxs2 -> no results
Moreover trying to install Apache2::Ajax from source or from cpan doesn't ask me any more to introduce the full path to httpd executable. Maybe the wrong path has been saved somewhere but how to find it?

Summing up:
1) now I know which is the path to httpd but not where are my apxs|apxs2.
2) The dialogue configuration doesn't appear any more.

Here is the output of my Apache2::Ajax installation

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
