I am running up to date Bookworm and get the 'Failed to start Apache2
service on boot' error message.
I searched Google and found
https://forums.debian.net/voew.top9c,php?t=14419s which didn't solve the
problem.
I then tried sudo systemctl status apache2.service resulting in:

Unfortunately, I am not conversant in ancient Greek and wold very
appreciative of assistance.
Hm, to me it seems that the problem description in the log is written in
pretty plain English:
[1] Look at /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/userdir.conf line 11
there you should see something like
[2] "ExecCG" which probably should read "ExecCGI" instead.
That was the problem. Many thanks.
