I installed Postgresql and pgadmin4 on the server, apache2 stopped in the process. Can't get it up and running even after removing postgres and pgadmin4.

I assume you are using ISPConfig, since posting in ISPConfig forum. https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/please-read-before-posting.58408/ Code: systemctl --state=failed Read log files for clues on what is happening.
There is no helpful info: Code: UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION ● apache2.service loaded failed failed The Apache HTTP Server LOAD = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded. ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB. SUB = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type. 1 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too. To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.
Can apache be reinstalled and reconfigured without reinstalling everything? I have around 1000 sites hosted on this particular server. When adding the vhost to a2ensite, apache bombs out afterwards. Any help on this or should I essentially just give up?

Since both your OS and ISPConfig need updates, you may get your system fixed. Check you have removed the extra packages you wrote you installed, Postgresql and pgadmin4. Next time you do that, take image backup of your server first, so you can get back to a working server after you break it. But the fixing: update your OS, apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade update ISPConfig, ispconfig_update.sh and remember to let it do reconfigure services. This should reconfigure all services and ISPConfig, and with luck you get your ISPConfig OK.

Did the fixiing I wrote complete without errors? Have you rebooted since? Code: ls -lh /var/run/re* Have you now checked for failing services? Code: systemctl --state=failed
Ensure that you gone trough all steps of the apache and phhp install chapters of the perfect server guide again to install all modules listed there. Then do an ispconfig update with reconfigure services = yes. Afterwards, ispconfig should listen on port 8080 again, unless you removed the ispconfig vhost which might cause the updater to skip ispconfig configuration. add the vhost, restart apache and then check the apache error.log for errors or use commands like "apachectl configtest". If no errors were found, then the most likely reason for your issue is that you deleted ssl certs or that keys and certs don't match, as that's the most common issue that apache causes to fail completely without showing any error.
