Hi,
The connection refused error is most commonly caused by a firewall or service not running. From your output we can see that you have your firewall ports open but there is no service listening on port 80. I would first try starting your application(if you find you need to start MySQL as well, you can just insert mysqld or mysql as the service):
sudo service apache2 start
If this runs successfully it should bring your site back up, if not it will produce errors that you can use to further troubleshoot with and can provide here. Additional commands that you may find useful are the Apache syntax configuration test:
sudo apachectl -t
And, of course, it's worth checking out your /var/log/apache2/error.log for more information.
