Some time ago I installed Apache 2.2.29 with this manual: https://echo.co/blog/os-x-1010-yosemite-local-development-environment-apache-php-and-mysql-homebrew into this directory: /usr/local/Cellar/httpd22/2.2.29/bin/httpd Yesterday I installed Apache 2.4.17 with this manual: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV52Vs4E1xs into this directory: /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd Terminal command which httpd shows me this: Server version: Apache/2.2.29 (Unix) is there any way to switch to 2.4.17? (I'm on OS X 10.10.5)

The 2.2 version is installed where I would expect using Homebrew. The 2.4 version is not. Having said that the usual way to switch versions is with the "brew link" command to create the appropriate symlinks in the /usr/local/bin (and related) directories. However, you clearly have other customizations in place since "which httpd" would not normally show the output you reported. So it's possible your $PATH also contains atypical entries that may cause httpd 2.2 to be found first even after you run "brew link".
