Which version of Apache am I running?

Yes, that must be the problem, but how do I fix it? I made a new  
order like so:

/opt/local/bin:
/opt/local/sbin:
/opt/local/apache2/bin:
/opt/local/bin/mysql5:
/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin:
/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql:
/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysqladmin:
/bin:
/sbin:
/usr/bin:
/usr/local/bin:
/usr/local/mysql/bin:
/usr/sbin

and entered that in the terminal:

export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/opt/local/apache2/bin:/ 
opt/local/bin/mysql5:/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin:/opt/local/lib/mysql5/ 
bin/mysql:/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysqladmin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/ 
usr/local/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/usr/sbin

But even after a restart, the path is still in the wrong order:

echo $PATH
/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql:/opt/local/bin/mysql5:/usr/local/ 
mysql/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin:/ 
usr/local/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/ 
lib/mysql5/bin/mysqladmin:/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql

/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql;
/opt/local/bin/mysql5;
/usr/local/mysql/bin;
/opt/local/bin;
/opt/local/sbin;
/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin;
/usr/local/bin;
/bin;
/sbin;
/usr/bin;
/usr/sbin;
/opt/local/bin;
/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysqladmin;
/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql


I don't quite understand how this comes about: I'm not even sure  
where many of these values come from. Based on what I've googled, I  
gather that these variables are specified in the system and user  
profile files. But if I ask 'pico /etc/profile', I get:
-----------------------------------------------------------
PATH="/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin:/usr/ 
local/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"
export PATH

if [ "${BASH-no}" != "no" ]; then
         [ -r /etc/bashrc ] && . /etc/bashrc
fi
-----------------------------------------------------------


Similarly, 'pico ~/.profile' produces:
-----------------------------------------------------------
#
# Your previous .profile  (if any) is saved as .profile.dpsaved
# Setting the path for DarwinPorts.
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
-----------------------------------------------------------


So that should ensure that the /opt/local/bin path always comes  
first, right? Your help is greatly appreciated: UNIX for Dummies (3rd  
edition) is not much help here.
