Starting Apache2 ... fail because -> Another web server is already runing, Ubuntu 18.04

  • 772

I have looked almost everywhere and tried all the solution available on the internet but the apache is not runing. i stoped the apache service using 

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop

and also stopped xampp using 

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop

and then i restarted it but the apache still failed to run. I have also looked at the ports by runing 

sudo netstat -pnltu

and the result is 

Active Internet connections (only servers)

i also used this command 

sudo service apache2 restart

and it says :

Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Need the solution asap, its my first internship on monday 13th january 2019 and i dont want to install windows :/..

    You have another web server running, namely nginx:

    tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:80              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      1223/nginx: master  
tcp6       0      0 :::80                   :::*                    LISTEN      1223/nginx: master

    If you stop it using sudo systemctl stop nginx.service, you should be able to start Apache.
