/etc/init.d/apache2 start Fail

general

I installed debain 6 apache2 mysql php5 and everthing seemed to go well but I had problems with my database

so I started over and installed ubuntu 10.04 this time but now I cannot get apache to start.

I've done all the upgrades.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Error messages? Contents of logs? Or shall we just stab about in the dark?

1) look in /var/log

2) drop relevant logs into http://p.linode.com

3) consult google

4) profit!

In the future, using apachectl -t will check the configuration files first so that you can avoid potential failures upon restart due to misconfiguration.
