Hey, I am trying to install apache2 on my webserver, except it won't start.
I've tried purging apache2 etc, but it keeps giving me this error when
trying to start:sd-6340:~# apt-get install apache2

apt-get --purge remove apache2-common
apt-get --reinstall install apache2 apache2-common apache2-doc apache2-mpm-worker apache2-utils libapr0 ssl-cert
