Comment 15 for bug 89364

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 address hidden>. If it's www.toddsbeer.org, send mail to <email address hidden>. 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 <Webmaster@domain>.) 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.
   ---"

This is also a good place to insert some good exposure for Ubuntu by inserting a banner ad linking back to Ubuntu.
