I am using ubuntu 13.04. Initially I had installed apache2 and it was working fine but later it started giving some issues so i removed apache using following commands

sudo apt-get autoremove

sudo apt-get remove apache2*

dpkg -S which apache2

and then i reinstalled apache2 using

sudo apt-get install apache2

Installation was almost done but then i got following message

  • Starting web server apache2
    Syntax error on line 6 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ssl: SSLCertificateFile: file '/etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem' does not exist or is empty Action 'start' failed. The Apache error log may have more information.

    [fail]

after running sudo rm /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/*ssl i am getting the following output and apache2 is OFF

* Restarting web server apache2

  • Remove ssl sites if you don't need https server: sudo rm /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/*ssl then sudo service apache2 restart

I had removed SSL but it was still giving following error:

Restarting web server apache2 apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:443 [ OK ]

I googled it out and referred to these 2 posts:

Finally, I disabled the SSL using:

a2dismod ssl
