[webmin-l] Apache2 down after package update

[Teknoskillz <tek...@co...>]

Did the usual package updates today from Webmin, all went ok except when 
upgrading Apache2. There was a timeout, and the service never restarted
during the upgrade process.

I did a purge and remove via bash, and a reinstall , but still no go.

Im not sure if its because I enabled mod_rewrite and there is a new path or
something, but thats
the only change thata major I did with Apache after trying to get the sites
more SEO friendly recetly.
There may have been 1 other module enabled, but I cant remember what it was.
I went in and turned on rewrite
and we are still failing.  Any help or ideas out there?
