I've been trying hours to sort out this issue, it all started yesterday during a failed install of phpmyadmin when i lost server connection after a lamp stack install that inturn played havoc with mysql,Long story short i had to start the lamp stack install from afresh, cleaned everything up apart from this Apache2 error, it is absolutely persistant and results in fail after fail of re-installing Apache2. I have tried what i believe to be just about every possible solution on Digital Oceans docs as well as similar suggestions found on the internet. Non of them seem to work.

ERROR: Module mpm_event does not exist!

dpkg: error processing package apache2 (--configure): installed apache2 

package post-installation script subprocess returned error 

exit status 1.

I'm thinking its this in the above block that is causing the problem but I can't figure out from what it says if the subprocess is terminating the install right after the post install script is initiated or whether its a problem with the script itself.
