Hi.

Doing a test install of ubuntu with apache from digitalocean.

I created the instance, and it's live.

I install a number of packages from different sites via "apt get..."

I then did a apache2 -v
Server version: Apache/2.4.57 (Ubuntu)
Server built:   2023-07-21T21:17:42

However,
systemctl restart apache2
Failed to restart apache2.service: Unit apache2.service not found.

which implies I haven't succeeded.

some articles imply nginx might be installed.

systemctl stop nginx
systemctl status nginx

seems to indicate that nginx is stopped. (no clue why it was running)

systemctl restart apache2
Failed to restart apache2.service: Unit apache2.service not found.
apt install apache2

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 merecat : Conflicts: apache2-utils but 2.4.57-2ubuntu2 is to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be
caused by held packages.

I've read different articles.. tried different steps.. no success.

Anyone here with possible steps I can try!

thanks
