httpd.conf new file locations -apache2

I'm trying to add some semblance of security for my website. I've been following this: https://www.tecmint.com/apache-security-tips/ and they want me to edit the httpd file but it doesn't exist in my server. I started doing some more research and I found this https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/httpd.html which says it doesn't exist and "all configuration options have been moved to the below referenced directories". So I would appreciate it if someone could tell me which files to add those options to! Also should I edit the apache2.conf file? Edit: I'm using ubuntu 18.04 LTS

the Main Configuration file for RHEL/CentOS/Fedora is: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
and for Debian/Ubuntu is: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.

as you are using ubuntu os so you should edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.

for more information and the history about apache2.conf and httpd.conf , as mentioned within ubuntu doc Ubuntu 18.04 Apache2 Web Server Guide:

httpd.conf: historically the main Apache2 configuration file, named after the httpd daemon. Now the file does not exist. In older versions of Ubuntu, the file might be present, but empty, as all configuration options have been moved to the below-referenced directories.
