Apache2 wouldn't start

On my laptop I have installed Apache, and now I want to upgrade to
Apache 2, so I installed it (so I both have Apache and Apache 2), but
I can only access localhost, when Apache is running
Can I change it, so it's only, when Apache 2 is running (or maybe see
the fail)?

what OS?
if win32 -
did you install apache2 over the top of apache, as a service, in a
different location?
do you have 2 services, one says apache, the other says apache2?
have you checked to see that the apache2 service is pointing to the
apache2 executable and that you have set up the apache2 httpd.conf
file properly - that doesnt just mean copying the apache httpd.conf
over the top!
If you are a newbie, you can get apache+php+perl+phpmyadmin+mysql
+mailserver by downloading XAMPP for windows. It comes with a full
default httpd.conf and all assocaited (modular) conf files so you can
see what yours should look like. There wont just be httpd.conf - there
will be others for all the different functionality you want, ssl, per-
directory rules, rewrites etc...

I'm using Kubuntu, so I downloaded it with apt-get, but I found out
of, that they both was listening on port 80, but are there somebody,
who can tell me, which port, I then can use for Apache2?
