apache2 httpd is not running

Question

I'm running my web(+db) server on Ubuntu 15.10.

It worked just fine, and suddenly I can't access my site and ping to port 80 neither 443 worked.

The command

service apache2 status

says that

● apache2.service - LSB: Apache2 web server

I tried service httpd status

root@dev:/etc/apache2# service httpd status
● httpd.service
Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: inactive (dead)

And the results are this.

I know that Ubuntu actually doesn' have httpd.conf.

I checked that no other service is using port 80 or 443.

Any suggestions?

Solution

As one can see from output, your sshd for some reason is using port 443 which is unusual. You may change sshd port to another value in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and then restart both your sshd and apache2 instances.
