Im a web developer and im new in Ubuntu, I have days trying to install apache2 to work with php.
But I always get this error starting Apache2:

See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Hello,

The problem is that you have another service listening on port 80 already. You can not have 2 services listening on the same port at the same time.

To find out which service is using the port you could run this command:

netstat -plant | grep 80

Then if you do not need this service you could stop it and disable it so that it does not start on boot.

After that you should be able to start Apache as normal.

Hope that this helps!
Regards,
Bobby
