Apache2 could not bind to address
I have read endless iterations of this question, but none of them seem to help with this particular issue. I have uninstalled and reinstalled apache more times than I can count. Once installed, it will not run.

This keeps occurring. It doesn't look like there are any other programs using port 80, but I'm not particularly proficient in linux terminal.
