This error is indicating there is something at the top of your apache2.conf file that is a problem. I would recommend opening this file and reviewing it. If you are not able to resolve the issue you can do a complete re-install with:

apt-get purge apache2
apt-get install apache2 php5

The purge option in apt-get will delete not just the program itself but also your configuration files and should resolve the problem. This is not a good option if you have already customized your configuration as you would have to start over.

I already review my apache2.conf file but there are no mistake. Also, I purge-install apache2 and php5 but when I edit apache2.conf (under /etc/apache2) for AllowOverride(Directory var/www) from None to All, it gives same error. Although I changed it to its previous option (None) again, problem is still there.
