Answer 1

You should install this Apache mod, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_info.html, it basically gives you a run down of the mods you're using and the Apache settings. I have this enabled on my Apache and it gives me this info for my website,

Server Version: Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) mod_jk/1.2.18 PHP/5.2.0-8+etch13 mod_ssl/2.2.3 OpenSSL/0.9.8c mod_perl/2.0.2 Perl/v5.8.8

Answer 2

The default Apache install is configured to send this information on the Server header line. You can view this for any server using the curl command.

$ curl --head http://localhost/
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Server: Apache/2.2.8 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8a DAV/2 PHP/5.2.6 SVN/1.5.4 proxy_html/3.0.0
