Apache2 Won't start

When I type

service apache2 start

I get a message saying:

[....] Starting web server: apache2apache2: Syntax error on line 7 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/init.d/apache.conf: No such file or directory
Action 'start' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.
failed!

The apache error log is blank and doesn't have any information.
Please help me.

What distribution are you using?

Maybe try:
service httpd start (that's generally for red hat distros)
or /etc/init.d/apache2 start

It's obviously a syntax error, as it says, because apache.conf cannot be located under /etc/init.d/

Ok, it was a rather silly post from my part.

Can you do a cat /etc/apache2/apache2.conf ?


Do you happent to have another apache.conf?

try ls -l /etc/apache2/conf.d/apache.conf

No I don't have another apache.conf I tried doing ls -l /etc/apache2/conf.d/apache.conf, and it is telling me that there is no such file or directory.
