Hi,

Apache fails to start on Ubuntu 16.04   Virtual Machine.
The error says a syntax error however when I compare a working apache2.conf to a non working apache2.conf version I can see that both configs are identical. 


The error says a syntax error :

I tried replacing the non working apache2 folder with a working one but the error still persists. 
Is the problem being caused somewhere else ?

How can I resolve this issue ?

Thanks,

Dan
