ubuntu 18.04 apache2

There are mainly two solutions to this problem:

1. Run the Apache2 HTTP daemon with root privileges using sudo:

   sudo service apache2 start
   

   or:

   sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
   

2. Change the default port from 80 to something greater than 1024, say 2000, 2500, 9000, etc. A typical port to run when in such situation is 8080

   sudo vi /etc/apache2/ports.conf
   
   
     netstat -lnp|grep 80
     source /etc/apache2/envvars
     apache2 -S
     sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
     apache2 --help
     vim /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
     vim /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
     vim  /etc/apache2/ports.conf
   

   look for or if not there add:

   Listen 8080
   

   or any other port of your choice such as port > 1024 and the selected port is not used by another process.
