Hi @rulet,
Looking at the provided status, the error can be explained here
This would suggest Apache can’t start as something else is listening on the ports it’s supposed to. Usually Apache listens on port 80 so you’ll need to first check what is actually listening on it.
To do so, you’ll just need to enter this command
This will result in a similar ouput
In this case, Apache is actually properly running however in your cases something else would be listening on that port.
You’ll need to turn off the service that’s listening on the port. Edit it’s configuration to use another port and restart Apache.
That should be it.
Regards, KDSys
