Failed to start the Apache HTTP server

[criz28]

Hi everyone,
I have downloaded the Rapsbian Weather Station image (sep-17), burned it to the SD card, then inserted into the weather station board and when I boot the Weather Station it prompts me that "Failed to start the Apache HTTO server".
I also tried to update & upgrade but failed too.
I'm here providing you the links for both screenshots to see if you can help me:

How can I fix the Apache error?
Thanks a lot from Argentina.

Try running sudo apachectl config-test and post the output here.

This is the result of running 'sudo apachectl config-test':

/usr/sbin/apachectl: 208: /usr/sbin/apachectl: /usr/sbin/apache2: Exec format error
Action 'config-test' failed
The Apache error log may have more information

Take a look in /var/log/apache2/error.log.

Try sudo apt install --reinstall apache2

Before re-installing Apache, the error.log contains the following:

When I do 'sudo apt install -reinstall apache2' I get the following prompt:

E: Comand line option 'r' [from -reinstall is not understood in combination with the other options.

When I do 'sudo apt install -reinstall apache2' I get the following prompt:

You need to put two dashes in front of the reinstall option.

Code: Select all

--reinstall

not
-reinstall

In most commands, one dash/minus is used for single letter options, and two dashes/minus signs are used for long options.

Thanks Rpdom!!
I finally solved the problem using the Raspbian Stretch Desktop image and then installing the weather station software manually.
Everything worked fine (except that I had to manually install MySQL) and now I have my weather station up and running (well, not NOW but yesterday night).
Now I'm ready to continue experimenting and learning using all the lessons.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,

Cristián
