    Hello guys! I really want urgent help to get my server run again. I'm using ISPConfig 3, and recently, I followed this tutorial to install varnish:
    https://www.varnish-software.com/developers/tutorials/installing-varnish-ubuntu/

    Now, the Apache server won't start with the error:
    AH00526: Syntax error on line 5 of /etc/apache2/ports.conf:
    Feb 16 21:08:34 server1 apachectl[7580]: Listen setup failed
    Feb 16 21:08:34 server1 apachectl[7566]: Action 'start' failed.
    Feb 16 21:08:34 server1 apachectl[7566]: The Apache error log may have more information.
    Feb 16 21:08:34 server1 systemd[1]: apache2.service: Control process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE

    Any help? If I can at least back up my website's files and databases, that would be great.

    Thank you in advance!

    ISPConfig, so far, does not suppot dual web server, or vanish web server. You should uninstall vanish to re-enable apache2 to work on port 80 and 443 OR you could configure them to work harmoniously on your own. No support, sorry.
