I am trying to start apache2 services by running-
sudo service apache2 start
But it is resulting in-
Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
I tried-
sudo systemctl status apache2.service
and it's showing-
● apache2.service - The Apache HTTP Server

Docs: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/

Dec 08 11:17:18 dk systemd[1]: apache2.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Dec 08 11:17:18 dk systemd[1]: Failed to start The Apache HTTP Server.
I am assuming the problem is with invalid user: dk. How can i resolve this?
Also I recently removed one user account which already had LAMP stack installed. Is that the reason why it's showing invalid user?

In new systems, e.g. ubuntu 20 * LTS, the configuration file is /etc/apache2/envvars
look for APACHE_RUN_USER and APACHE_RUN_GROUP.

You must see in the file:
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf
or
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
what is the entered user and what group
normally it is:
User www-data
Group www-data
or maybe in your case it is "dk"
in addition, you may have specified in the server file that the site location is in a directory owned by "dk".
Check the server configuration with the command:
apachectl configtest
or
sudo apachectl configtest

When i run systemctl start test.service and then systemctl status test.service It shows that serivce succeeded but is inacitve, please why is this?

The ExecStart script is simple as service

I use: Linux version 4.19.0-13-amd64 (debian-kernel#lists.debian.org) (gcc version 8.3.0 (Debian 8.3.0-6)) #1 SMP Debian 4.19.160-2 (2020-11-28)
Your program was started successfully and it terminated directly.
To have your service active, it needs to keep running. Example:
#!/usr/bin/bash
while [ 1 ]; do
echo Hi > /tmp/test1

sleep 60
done

I created a service in my Ubuntu instance by adding it to systemd like:
sudo systemctl enable myservice.service
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/myservice.service → /etc/systemd/system/myservice.service.
the setting inside my myservice.service are:
[Unit]
Description=myserviceService
[Service]
Restart=always
Type=simple
ExecStart=/home/myservice-app/core/core
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
This is the error when I check status:
Feb 02 06:51:16 myservice-ubuntu-app systemd[1]: myservice.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Feb 02 06:51:16 myservice-ubuntu-app systemd[1]: myservice.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Feb 02 06:51:16 myservice-ubuntu-app systemd[1]: Failed to start myservice Service.
What am I doing wrong? The service runs properly in foreground with no errors, its just the service that struggles to run.
If your Go program is able to start normally (meaning not as a service, but manually from command line), then check if this is a policy issue.
For instance, a SELinux policy could prevent your Go binary to start if it is not installed in a system path (like /usr/local/bin).
Or the service definition uses relative instead of absolute paths (same here).
Or with the wrong user.

Your config content seems nothing wrong, so I have copied it to my debian server and try to run it, and it's really ok.
But it's strange that the stdout of cat -vetn webapp.service is not the exactly content of your original config, so would you mind to remove the original config and do it again ?
refer: https://wiki.debian.org/systemd/Services
redo:
mv webapp.service /tmp/webapp.service
vi webapp.service # check characters
After creating or modifying any unit files, we must tell systemd that we want it to look for new things:
systemctl daemon-reload
Then, tell systemd to enable it, so that it will start every time we boot:
systemctl enable myservice.service
Finally, start it:
systemctl start myservice.service

Here the service has started successfully. But when I comment the first ExecStart directive and uncomment the second one I get

This time the service cannot start, like it doesnt want to start the process starting by ${TESTEXTSERVICESFILES} variable. Does someone have any idea why it is not working even if command lines are the same in both cases ?
You can't use variables in the actual command. systemd.service:
The command to execute must be an absolute path name. It may contain
spaces, but control characters are not allowed.
You might wan't to wrap it in a shell command (which does parameter expansion):
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c '/${TESTEXTSERVICESFILES}/syslog/bin/nxlog -c ${TESTCONFDATA}/syslog/nxlog.conf'
Instead of Environment=, use EnvironmentFile=, to define multiple environment variables.
[Service]
Type=simple
EnvironmentFile=/etc/sysconfig/customsyslog
ExecStart=/bin/echo ${TESTEXTSERVICESFILES}/syslog/bin/nxlog $TESTCONFDATA
/etc/sysconfig/customsyslog would contain key=value pair, e.g.,
TESTEXTSERVICESFILES=/opt/test/extservices
TESTCONFDATA=/storage/test/conf
An old message that I've just stumbled on but looks like your ExecStart line that doesn't work may have 2 '/' at the beginning. One from the ExecStart line before the variable and one from the variable which is declared as /opt/test/extservices
Just a thought.

Look at the logs you are having another service which is running on the port 27017.
Look for that service and stop it and then retry. Or if you don't care about the service running on that port, can do
sudo fuser -k 27017/tcp
Another alternative will be to change the default of mongodb. See mongodb how to change default port
