Yesterday I upgraded to 13.10, but aphache server fails to restart. When I enter sudo service apache2 restart I get following error :

 sudo service apache2 restart
 * Restarting web server apache2                                         [fail] 
 * The apache2 configtest failed.
Output of config test was:
apache2: Syntax error on line 265 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/gems/passenger-4.0.21/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so into server: /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/gems/passenger-4.0.21/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so: undefined symbol: unixd_config
Action 'configtest' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.

How can I fix that?

I fixed it at last but it was not that easy. I had to purge and reinstall; apache2, php5, phpmyadmin, but I didn't touch mysql because I was afraid of losing my databases. Phpmyadmin gave me 404 error, I had to change folder permissions like 

 sudo chown -R $USER:www-data /var/www
 sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/

These links are helpful :

Cannot find /etc/apache2/sites-available/default when configuring Apache

EDIT :enter image description here

here I opted for No, because it might delete database config in phpmyadmin, luckily all database appeared in phpmyadmin after reinstallation.
