Thank you so much Dan, I should have found that error on my own.

So I ran...


aptitude remove apache2
aptitude remove apache2-mpm-prefork
aptitude remove libapache2-mod-perl2
aptitude remove libapache2-reload-perl

aptitude update

aptitude install apache2
aptitude install apache2-mpm-prefork
aptitude install libapache2-mod-perl2
aptitude install libapache2-reload-perl

Then I believe I got an error that was related to an Apache Perl  
module when I then tried to restart Apache, sadly my finger slipped  
and I closed the terminal window that had the error. I have a back  
copy up of the broken VM that I use to re-try your suggestions again  
later today or Monday morning.

Thanks again for your help, I had seen this error during previous  
installations, and I now have a better idea how to spot the errors and  
how to try to fix them.

Have a good weekend,
Yamil
