Hi there,

Purged and then reinstalled apache2 and when I want to start apache2,
here's what I get:

# systemctl status apache2.service
● apache2.service - The Apache HTTP Server
  Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/apache2.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

ls -l /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7224 jun  2 10:01 /etc/apache2/apache2.conf


Getting nuts.

Any ideas?

Thanks
