Upgrade Apache

Use the following systemctl command on Debian Linux version 8.x+ or Ubuntu 15.04+ or above:

# Start command #
systemctl start apache2.service

# Stop command #
systemctl stop apache2.service

# Restart command #
systemctl restart apache2.service

As an alternative, you can also use the commands below

# Start command #
sudo service apache2 start

sudo service apache2 restart

To view the status of the apache2 webserver use the following

sudo systemctl status apache2.service

You should then see an output like below.
