I don't find this ambiguous.  Let's choose a worse one

  To determine the default settings compiled in when httpd was initially built,
  there is an option <code>httpd -v</code> to display such parameters.

(Forget for the moment that both readings are valid and assume the first
only applies to the entire application.)  I'm still not seeing a horrible
issue, but in the really ambiguious case, we can reword to;

  To determine the default settings compiled in when Apache HTTP Server was
  initially built, there is an option <code>httpd -v</code> to display such
  parameters.

These are easy, "Apache httpd {verb} [...]." or "Apache HTTP Server {verb} 
[...]."
This is how I usually work around fixed-case issues.
