Running Apache as the web server software and recently uninstalled a discourse installation which I believe is the cause of this error – if it edited any of the ports or iptables, etc. I’m a complete amateur at this, so any help would be appreciated. I’ve tried to go through the apache conf files and the iptables but I’m at a loss as to what will solve (or worsen) the problem.

Hello,
There are a few things that you could do in order to narrow down the issue:
- First check if your Apache service is actually running with:
systemctl status apache2
- If the service is not running try to start it:
systemctl start apache2
-
Then check the status again
-
If the problem still exists even if Apache is running, check the ports that are in use on your server with this command:
netstat -plant
If you don’t see apache there, make sure to check the error logs at:
/var/log/apache2/error.log
