apache needs setting up and that's beyond just installing it.  It's also 
not trivial.  That 0 carrier line in each of your interface read outs 
means you're not getting out on that interface.  If you intend to run a 
web server on your local box and are allowed to run a web server on your 
local box by your internet service provider then apache is appropriate. 
If you're not permitted to run a web server by your internet service 
provider, your provider could have terminated your connection and will 
continue to block it until the offending apache software has been removed 
from your system and it gets rebooted.
