Many thanks for your response. I'm coming to the same conclusion
as you. Best to cut my losses and rebuild Apache and PHP....but I
HATE not knowing what went wrong. So...I'm going to spend some
time getting to the bottom of the problem...whilst being pragmatic
and building my production server with apache and php again to get
back to 'real life'!! Ugh the things we have to do to survive in
this game!! LOL.
My
experience with upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04 is apache does not
upgrade well at all, had it happen on several servers already in
the past.
I
would suggest backup your entire etc/apache2 folder or rename it
/etc/apache_backup/
Then
uninstall apache and purge it, uninstall PHP and purge it and
then reinstall both Apache and PHP
Then
you will get a clean Apache with PHP 7, then move your sites
back into /etc/apache2/sites-available/ one at a time, enable
them one at a time and test as you go along.
Good
luck
Hi
Newbie to the forum here so I hope I'm doing this right.
If
not please would someone guide me. Thx in advance.
As the subject line says Apache2 is not working at all /
satisfactorily since the Ubuntu upgrade. The details
follow:
===========================
Here is my full post on askubuntu:

Currently the biggest help I could get would be if
someone would
decipher what the following output means when I do :
systemctl status apache2.service
output:

The MAIN question is : Is Apache started and functioning
or is it
inactive (dead)?
The last line of the output suggests that it is working
but the 5th
/ 6th line from the top suggests the opposite.
The errorlog is blank and the accesslog is blank as well
since the
day of the upgrade.
===========================
Thanks in advance
Purvez
