Apache2 cannot start on fresh install

[ChristopheCaron]

• Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [version 10.0.15063]

I install Ubuntu on my PC, I executed just before my issue :

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get install apache2

I added to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf in end of file,
AcceptFilter http none
And :
$ sudo a2enmod rewrite

telmedia@PC-CCA:~$ sudo service apache2 start
 * Restarting Apache httpd web server apache2                                                                    [fail]
 * The apache2 configtest failed.
Output of config test was:
apache2: ../sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c:2603: getaddrinfo: Assertion `IN6_IS_ADDR_V4MAPPED (sin6->sin6_addr.s6_addr32)' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
Action 'configtest' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.

• I turn off Skype, Xampp, I have no proxy, no firewall.
• Apache error log is empty
• I already tried to uninstall / reinstall BoW
  lxrun /uninstall /full

Thanks

I've tested this on the latest RS3 build (16193) and it seems to work for me.

I did all the same things that you did, but changed the port it listened on from within /etc/apache2/ports.conf

~$ nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
~$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
~$ sudo a2enmod rewrite
Enabling module rewrite.
To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
  service apache2 restart
~$ sudo service apache2 restart

Hi,

I've experienced the same issue, but for me it caused by a VPN solution called Pulse Secure.

After I've uninstalled it, apache started to working again.

I had the same problem caused by Pulse Secure VPN.

Here is the output of strace -o apache.txt -ff apache2:
