I just tried again and now it _does_ work - hm, weird. Maybe there was a problem with another package that has been updated since Wednesday...

Just FYI:
1) No error logs were generated by apache2, /var/log/* did not have relating entries either.

2) snoopy is the hostname, entry in /etc/hosts is <IP> snoopy.zih.tu-dresden.de snoopy ldap.zih.tu-dresden.de

3) netstat -ln showed no listeners on port 80, neither did lsof.

Now that apache2 is working, you may close the bug. Sorry for the alarm, but on Wednesday it drove me almost mad when it wouldn't run.

Best regards,

Do you need help?
