I asked this question today, since no one could find the answer, i decided to take the advice of Pablo Santa Cruz and install apache again
the first thing that I've done is uninstalling xampp
rm -rf /opt/lampp
then
sudo rm -rf /opt/lampp
xampp is uninstalled now, but when i go to localhost i see
It works!
This is the default web page for this server.
The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet
I decided to try and uninstall apache:
sudo apt-get remove apache2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package apache2 is not installed, so not removed
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

I tried sudo apt-get remove apache2 and sudo apt-get remove httpd
i got the same result
should i run apt-get autoremove? i don't think so
EDIT: @Alex
when i try to stop apache
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
I get
Stopping web server apache2
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
any other command apache will give the same output
@Gregory MOUSSAT please read this
EDIT:
I ran
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get --fix-missing install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get update
It didn't fix anything!
I just want to get apache and mysql working - I don't care about php and phpmyadmin - at the very least just mysql
