Which version of Ubuntu are you running? This will make answering the question much, much easier — , Jan 19 '21 at 12:40
apt update first then try apt install. If it's still having problem, please run lsb_release -a, paste it on the question, that would help people. Last try apt search apache2. If there's apache2 packages then it will work. Anyway based on the mirror here, it should contain apache2 package http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/apache2/ — Benyamin Limanto, Jan 19 '21 at 13:17
Silly question, but you did sudo apt update before trying to install, correct? Otherwise, the apt cache will be empty and it won't find anything. — , Jan 19 '21 at 13:31

root@mydate:~# lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS Release: 20.04 Codename: focal — Md Abdul Awal, Jan 19 '21 at 13:38
It's a very bad idea to use Trusty Tahr's (14.04) repo on Focal Fossa (20.04). — Kulfy, Jan 19 '21 at 13:39
Does this answer your question? How do I restore the default repositories? and Restore default apt repositories in sources.list from command line — Kulfy, Jan 19 '21 at 13:40
@MdAbdulAwal "please check"? This is looking like a right mess. If you are building a server from scratch, I would strongly suggest starting again because if you are using 20.04 and you're trying to use deprecated package repositories, you will be in a world of hurt. If you are using 20.04, stick with focal repositories. Nothing else. — , Jan 19 '21 at 13:53
Where did you get that crazy sources.list? Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be safe. — Organic Marble, Jan 19 '21 at 14:07
