Apache.org recommends a more useful text that solves this bug and also gives appropriate guidance to users. The link Owen provided says it perfectly:
--Begin quote-- If you have sent us mail because you saw a page saying 'It Worked!' (or something similar indicating that Apache has been installed) on your screen or a Web site you visited, please go back and READ the page. It should explain what is going on. The page is the equivalent of a demo or the ReadMe file from a Windows application installation; it is intended for the person who installed the software and is supposed to show that the installation was completed successfully. The problem you are experiencing has nothing to do with us, and we cannot help you. You need to contact the Webmaster for the site. If the site is www.foo.com, for instance, try sending mail to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. If it's www.toddsbeer.org, send mail to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. And so on. Some older versions of the 'It Worked!' page (supplied with older versions of the software) don't say that, or are mysterious or ambiguous. What they should say, and what the recent versions say, is something like this! "It Worked! The Apache Web Server is Installed on this Web Site! "If you can see this page, then the people who own this domain have just installed the Apache Web server software successfully. They now have to add content to this directory and replace this placeholder page, or else point the server at their real content. --- "If you are seeing this page instead of the site you expected, please contact the administrator of the site involved. (Try sending mail to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.) Although this site is running the Apache software it almost certainly has no other connection to the Apache Group, so please do not send mail about this site or its contents to the Apache authors. If you do, your message will be ignored. ---" --End Quote-- This is also a good place to insert some good exposure for Ubuntu by inserting a banner ad linking back to Ubuntu.
