which one of these two files should I use to configure Apache?
The httpd.conf is empty, while apache2.conf is not.
It confuses me!
Ubuntu Apache – httpd.conf vs apache2.conf

The httpd.conf is designed for user configurations. You really should not edit the apache2.conf as it may be updated by future upgrades.
An additional option is to just put your custom configuration into /etc/apache2/conf.d, all files in this directory are included as well.
