Apache and Nginx Crashing, Port 80 Being Used, Can't Get Either to Start/Stop/Uninstall
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1045193/apache-and-nginx-crashing-port-80-being-used-cant-get-either-to-start-stop-un
I've been trying to set up a dev environment on a new Ubuntu 18.04 installation, and I'm running into an issue with Nginx and Apache.
First, I installed Apache2. Everything seemed in order.
Then I installed Composer, Laravel, and Valet. Running valet install gave me the following message:
[nginx] is not installed, installing it now via Apt... 🍻

The following NEW packages will be installed:

1 not fully installed or removed.

After this operation, 36.9 kB of additional disk space will be used.

SO it looks like it was partially installed and then unable to remove nginx.
Running sudo nginx gives me:

nginx: [emerg] bind() to [::]:80 failed (98: Address already in use)

Running sudo apachectl start tells me the process failed with an error code and to check the logs. /var/log/apache2/error.log contains:

So it's weird that I can't start Apache. However, visiting localhost in my browser brings me to the default ubuntu apache2 page.
Also, killing whatever's running on port 80 via fuser is no help.
So I'm kind of stumped here. Can anyone please help sort this out?
EDIT: I ran sudo apt-get remove nginx nginx-full and then ran a sudo netstat -ltnp | grep -w ':80' and got this:
