Hi Myroslav

we have to verify one oh the 2:
1) the service doesn't start OR
2) the service starts but something is wrong and it needs to be restart to work properly

let's move on the first:
test A)
reboot your pc and just after login do in a console
sudo ps aux | grep apache

this will let us to discover if the process is running
if you can see at least two rows as output (1 is your command cause of the "grep apache") than:
test B)
we can use nmap to see if port 80 is really open

sudo apt-get install nmap
nmap 127.0.0.1

this should be the output 
PORT      STATE SERVICE
22/tcp    open  ssh
80/tcp    open  http   <<<<<<<<<

if you see the 80/tcp we verify that is really apache running on the 80
test C)
sudo fuser 80/tcp | tee > /tmp/A
for pid in $(cat /tmp/A); do echo $pid $(ps -p $pid -o comm=); done

you should see an output like this
13482 apache2
13498 apache2
13499 apache2
13500 apache2
13501 apache2

it means that every process running and using port 80 is apache2

test D)
if you have the graphical interface an launch firefox in local pointing it on 127.0.0.1/moodle
if it works we can try the last test, i.e. we check if it works in the network

test E)
install nmap (there is also the windows version) on another pc in the same network class of your computer and scan your pc
nmap your_server_ip

it's long I know :-) but it's longer to be written it than performed
if every test is verified we move on 2nd troubleshooting

bye!
