Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS.

Clean install of apache2 (version 2.4.41-4ubuntu3.8 amd64)

apache2 won't start due to syntax error in config file, but I can't see
the error.

Steps to reproduce:

sudo apt-get purge apache2
rm -r /etc/apache2
sudo apt-get install apache2

Expected to see: error-free start

What happened:
...
Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript apache2, action "start" failed.
