It's always been spelled 'httpd'.  I seem to remember UIUC installing  
theirs in /usr/local/etc/httpd .  Over the years most of mine lived  
at /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd until it got modular and Redhat  
started packaging all the useful modules and I could abandon my in- 
house scripts (that took a day to figure out) to compile apache with  
*three* foreign modules.  Back in the days on the mod_perl list the  
first question was always, "are you using redhat's mod_perl"?   
They've done a tremendous job at least since the Fedora line began.

I used to be able to 'ps ax | grep apache' because of pathing - with  
Redhat's in /usr/sbin/httpd you can't do that anymore - maybe that's  
what you're recalling.
