I'm running apache2 on Debian testing on the Asus Slider sl101 tablet chrooted running on the android kernel.

root@hoshi:/#
root@hoshi:/# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Restarting web server: apache2.
root@hoshi:/#
root@hoshi:/# netstat -tulpn
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID/Program name
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:5901            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      15439/Xtightvnc
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:5037          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      99/adbd

root@hoshi:/#

So, it gives me no error but fails to start

ports.conf is set to the following :

NameVirtualHost *:80
Listen 80

But any attempt to change the port to Listen 8080 or Listen 8010 or anything else does not produce results in netstat

apache error log says 

root@hoshi:/# tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log

check the error_log for the reason why it isn't starting. – Mike May 1 '12 at 6:01
web browser gives me the error Iceweasel can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1. – Joshua Robison May 1 '12 at 6:16
web browser is not the apache error_log – Mike May 1 '12 at 6:17
attempting to connect to local host gives the error Cannot resolve hostname (localhost) – Joshua Robison May 1 '12 at 6:19
ok i can't help you if you don't paste relevant error log info on the apache server /var/log/apache/error_log or such – Mike May 1 '12 at 6:21

After some various research I found out that mod_python gives errors sometimes related to lack of ram on the host server.

I uninstalled apache2 and installed lighttpd

in debian 

apt-get install lighttpd lighttpd-doc

then it runs fine after doing 

/etc/init.d/lighttpd start

default setup works just like apache,
server files found in /var/www/

and website found on 0.0.0.0:80

works great even on my chrooted debian tablet arm device

also make sure to run the lighttpd server before you start any vnc server
