I did, sudo systemctl status apache2, and this is the reply...

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

I went to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf to check line 80, and seems nothing wrong in there. Also did try reload apache2. and I got this reply... apache2.service is not active, cannot reload.

I don't want to re-install the OS because I have dual boot. Any help would greatly appreciated.

Could you edit your question and post the line 80 (and surrounding, if possible). Besides, the line with error is truncated. Could you provide the full line?

As the error message says, there may be something specific in `/var/log/apache2/error.log` that explains what the problem is on line 80 (or thereabouts)

Thanks Marc and matigo! Sorry, for the late reply. I went to the /var/log/apache2/error.log but the file is empty. If I can't solved this, I might reinstall ubuntu. Thanks guys!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
