Failed to start the Apache HTTP Server - Ubuntu 18.04

4.9k Views Asked by At

I am completely new to Ubuntu and everything and am just trying to set up MyBB on my VPS with OVH. When I restart my Apache server using sudo systemctl -l status apache2, I get an error that says:

Nov 02 09:48:19 vps607432 systemd[1]: Starting The Apache HTTP Server... Nov 02 09:48:19 vps607432 apachectl[18213]: (98)Address already in use: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80 Nov 02 09:48:19 vps607432 apachectl[18213]: (98)Address already in use: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 Nov 02 09:48:19 vps607432 apachectl[18213]: no listening sockets available, shutting down Nov 02 09:48:19 vps607432 apachectl[18213]: AH00015: Unable to open logs Nov 02 09:48:19 vps607432 apachectl[18213]: Action 'start' failed.

Nov 02 09:48:19 vps607432 systemd[1]: apache2.service: Control process exited, code=exited status=1 Nov 02 09:48:19 vps607432 systemd[1]: apache2.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. Nov 02 09:48:19 vps607432 systemd[1]: Failed to start The Apache HTTP Server.

I understand what the issue is here as it plainly says inside of the error what is wrong. It's just that I am unsure on how I would go about solving this issue that I am experiencing.

Thanks for taking the time to read this question, I hope that I am able to find a solution as fast as possible.
