You already changed it. The default that comes with fedora is apache.

If you insist on using non-standard installations then you must follow the
instructions above. OTOH if you just install the httpd and mailman packages
that come with fedora, you will not have this problem. What more could you ask
for?
The bottom line here is unless you really understand what you are doing, do
NOT deviate from the default configuration.
