I have a VPS running Ubuntu 12.04.5, lsb_release -a output:

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS
Release:        12.04
Codename:       precise

However, running

sudo apt-get install apache2

Installs apache 2.4, not apache 2.2 as I expected. The output of "apache2 -v" is:

Server version: Apache/2.4.12 (Ubuntu)
Server built:   Feb  4 2015 14:21:10

The contents of my /etc/apt/sources.list is:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main restricted universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-updates main restricted universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise partner

As I understand, isn't Ubuntu 12.04 meant to use Apache 2.2? How can I get the server to install the correct version of Apache?

I had to remove http:// from the sources.list quote as I don't have enough reputation to post the links, but the http is there in the actual file.

For future reference: by formatting sections of configurations files as code rather than blockquote you won't run into the problem of them being considered URL's – HBruijn♦ Mar 23 '15 at 20:45
    
@HBruijn Thanks! :) – BnMcG Mar 23 '15 at 20:46

Check for files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d – Michael Hampton♦ Mar 23 '15 at 20:47
    
@MichaelHampton Thanks! I missed that! – BnMcG Mar 23 '15 at 20:48

The solution was to check in /etc/apt/sources.list.d as suggested by Michael Hampton. I had some extra sources in there.
