i can't imagine why Deb, is not automatically configuring apache2 to
auto start, a well know server for 10+ years and yet it seems in my
case it was not configured properly.
Please if anyone out there may have the answer, let us know.
as it seems that the network comes up after a reboot at this stage I'd
be inclined to remove and re-install apache2 and hope that the install
sorts it out.
but then I don't know what I'm doing.
It's always an option in my own playbook. It's a last resort one, but
still an option.
I go the additional step to secondarily purge any dependencies that
*might* suddenly become orphaned during a remove/uninstall. Apt-get is
friendly about sharing those.
Newly orphaned packages will be offered up as part of the feedback for
a command such as "apt-get upgrade". I don't how other package
managers handle the same.
That extra step is worth it to me because maybe the problem is with a
dependency package and not necessarily the primary desired one.

I think i should explain something i did not explain before -
I have an old server that is currently running, it is old and running
Deb 4 , and completely configured to run with our 1 router, server IP,
dhcp, all ports 80, 443, 22, 21 ect ...
The Apache2 issue is on my new server Deb 9.4 which will replace the old
server once it is all configured. At this time the new server is not
configured with the router as i do not believe i can run 2 servers at
the same time on the same network ( or can i ). and i do not want any
interruption with the old server running as it is serving the many
websites and network services needed for my business.
In short i am trying to make a smooth transition.
So perhaps Apache is not starting because my new server is not
configured with our 1 router .. ? maybe ?
I have 1 internet line, and 1 router.
