As was already suggested, run:
  sudo netstat -tpln
to see what program occupies port 80. Also try:
  ps -AFH
to see if other instances of Apache are already running. Compare their PIDs 
with those reported by:
  systemctl status apache2

If you don't know how to interpret the outputs post them here.

If you already established that e.g. nginx is to blame, decide what to do with 
it, e.g. daisy-chain web servers, bind them to different IPs or leave only one.
