I've tried to resolve as suggested in other posts without success:
sudo apt-get remove nginx
sudo apt-get -f install # (as mentioned in this post)$ systemctl status nginx.service
nginx.service - A high performance web server and a reverse proxy server

I also tried the following... as the error persists.
apt purge nginx
apt autoremove
apt install nginx
How many options do I have from here to get on the right track?
Should I try uninstalling/disabling apache2?
