Apache2 Service Status

The Apache2 service on the system is currently masked and inactive (dead).

What Does This Mean?

The Apache2 service has been masked, meaning it is explicitly disabled and cannot be started until it is unmasked. Masking is typically done to ensure the service is not accidentally started.

How to Fix It

If you want to unmask and start the Apache2 service, follow these steps:

  1. Unmask the Apache2 Service:
    sudo systemctl unmask apache2
  2. Start the Apache2 Service:
    sudo systemctl start apache2
  3. Enable Apache2 to Start on Boot (Optional):
    sudo systemctl enable apache2
  4. Verify the Status:
    sudo systemctl status apache2

Additional Notes

If you intentionally masked Apache2 (e.g., because you're using another web server like Nginx), no further action is required. The system is configured this way for a specific purpose.
