In the philosophy of teaching a man to fish rather than giving him a fish, 
I'll give you this tip:

If you run "rpm --query --info httpd" you'll get a description of the package 
where it says, among other things, "Apache HTTP Server".

If you don't know the name of the package you can ask about the package that 
owns a certain file, for example "rpm --query --info --file /usr/sbin/httpd".
