This will depend on which version of Ubuntu you are using.
For Ubuntu 15.04 or newer, you can run use following commands to start, stop, or restart your Apache service:
systemctl start apache2.service
systemctl stop apache2.service
systemctl restart apache2.service
To check the current status of Apache, you can run:
systemctl status apache2.service
For older versions of Ubuntu, you can use the these commands for the same results:
sudo service apache2 start
sudo service apache2 stop
sudo service apache2 restart
You can check the status of Apache on older Ubuntu distributions using:
sudo service apache2 status
