command is working fine,but "sudo service apache2 start" giving me error "apache2: unrecognized service"

@AmitDubey - Confirm whether your apache2 service is installed by checking with dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall | grep "apache2". This will give you an output if the packages in installed.

@AzkerM thanks for reply,command out put is "apache2=>install" "apache2-bin=>install", "apache2-data=>install"

[AzkerM]

seems like you've the packages in place. Try sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload or sudo apache2ctl graceful to have a look through again.
