I removed the symlink the journal indicated was preventing apache2 from starting.

Think I had a similar problem when uninstalling Netgear Surveillance, that I didn't use anyway, but had installed once out of curiosity. After about two minutes into the uninstall, connection was lost to the admin page. Only way to reach the server was through SSH. My website was also down, so the problem had to be related to the web server. Having seen this thread earlier, looked at sites-enabled and saw the symbolic link for 090-surveillance.conf, the application I had just (tried) to remove. After deletion of the symbolic link 090-surveillance.conf -> /apps/surveillance/http.conf and restart of apache and things came back alive. Thanks for sharing your findings! Made my live a bit easier :)
