After I updated my apache, none of my virtual hosts are accessible anymore, the server responds "Connection refused". No errors are in the logs and I have no idea what is causing this. My virtual host is something like this:
<VirtualHost 173.XXX.XXX.XXX:80>
....
ServerName hostname.com
....
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 173.XXX.XXX.XXX:443>
....
ServerName hostname.com
....
</VirtualHost>
Any ideas of how to debug?

"Connection refused" would mean that apache is not listening on port 80; run this command to make sure"
lsof -i:80
, if you found no output then start apache and try againUpdate: after seeing some output of different commands; it turned out that
libapache2-mod-php5
is not installed according todpkg -l | grep apache2
it was flagged as 'rc' (removed, but configuration files remaining). Since the debug information was showing loading mod_php5 then the absence of this package is what causing apache not to start
