systemd[1]: Failed to start LSB: Apache2 web server
I have an Apache Web (version 2.4.10) server running on Debian 8 (Jessie). It is mainly used as a SVN repository server. It was working well since a few weeks, and suddenly, I got an internal error when attempting to list the SVN repos from a Web Browser as can be seen below:
Apache Internal Error & Authentication
As you can see, authentication is still working fine.
I ran the 2 following commands: systemctl status apache2.service and journalctl -xn
But that doesn't help me much, maybe I'm missing something? I did NOT modify any configuration file recently related to Apache (or even anything else for that matter): neither the main apache conf file nor any vHost conf file. I tried restarting Apache, it does restart but the Web Server still encounters an internal error.

Could that come from the Python version that mod_wsgi is running which differs from what mod_wsgi is apparently expecting?
Answer
try two commands blow:
sudo apt-get purge apache2
sudo apt-get install apache2
after that use systemctl status apache2 to check you apache's status
