Failed to start The Apache HTTP Server after uninstalling and reinstalling apache2 on Raspbian

I uninstalled apache, php, mysql, proftpd, wordpress, cerbot and letsencrypt to get a new, fresh install of apache.

After uninstalling all packages and reinstalling apache, i got this error:

Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript apache2, action "restart" failed.

I tried to remove all apache-related packages by

sudo apt-get remove apache2
sudo apt autoremove

but this didn't work either.
