I am running up to date Bookworm and get the 'Failed to start Apache2 
service on boot' error message.

I searched Google and found 
https://forums.debian.net/voew.top9c,php?t=14419s which didn't solve the 
problem.

I then tried sudo systemctl status apache2.service resulting in:

× apache2.service - The Apache HTTP Server

Unfortunately, I am not conversant in ancient Greek and wold very 
appreciative of assistance.

Thanks in advance.
