try (as root, or using sudo )

/etc/init.d/apache3 restart

and look to see what errors show up.,

also check /var/log/apache2/error.log

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.
