The issue is this line:
Something else is listening on port 80/443, thus Apache fails to start as you can’t have two services listening on the same port at the same time.
You’ll want to run:
… to see what else is listening on that port and kill the process, otherwise Apache will continue to fail to start.
Once you find the process, you can either shutdown the service, or use
kill -9to kill off the process using theid.i.e.
Where
idis the process ID. Once the process is killed off, you can then start or restart Apache and it should work.…
