In case you are unfamiliar with the block comment approach using <IfDefine
IgnoreBlockComment>, I used the traditional # comment indication and got the
same result:
dnessett@Mount:/etc/apache2$ cat ports.conf
# If you just change the port or add more ports here, you will likely also
# have to change the VirtualHost statement in
# /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
#Listen 80
<IfModule ssl_module>
Listen 4443
</IfModule>
#<IfModule mod_gnutls.c>
# Listen 443
#</IfModule>
# vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet
dnessett@Mount:/etc/apache2$ sudo systemctl restart apache2
Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error
code.
See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
