ISSUE RESOLVED
Many thanks to all
The solution was provided by Jan
For info and for the sake of anyone else experiencing similar problems.
I did a dpkg -L <package>|less for every apache package. It immediately
showed some of the common files which should have been there weren't. So:
aptitude purge <each of the packages in turn>
This worked but gave a list of directories it could not remove as they were
non-empty, so I manually removed each of these. Then did a aptitude install
apache2
Lo and behold, it is now working.
Where I had gone wrong previously was that I had initially installed apache2
and so just did a aptitude purge apache2 not each individual package
seperately.
I really do appreciate the time and effort given by others to help me with
this problem

going and hook up with them later.
