This is probably a Ubuntu issue and not an Apache problem since Apache isn't getting installed. In that case, there would be no log entries. But: on most Unix systems the Apache daemon runs as httpd and can be controlled by <install-directory>/bin/apachectl. he could check if the daemon is running by issuing any of the apachectl commands - like apachectl -k stop It could be as simple as the httpd service not being properly set up, although apt-get should have done that. I don't run Ubuntu here so my installation is significantly different but that should be a start to debugging. Remember you have to be root to run any of these commands. As a last resort, just pull the current version of Apache from the Apache web site and install it. I've never had a failure doing that (except, of course, my typing of the make commands!)
