I've recently installed lighttpd but I can't run it because there's a daemon that starts an Apache2 server. I removed Apache 2 from the system but there's still a server running. How do I stop this so I can start lighttpd?

/etc/init.d/apache2 stop will work in most cases on linux operating systems.

also using ps aux , finding the process ID and using kill -9 id (not 100% of what signal to send for a graceful termination)

    On a Debian system, which Ubuntu is, the prescribed way to do it is `invoke-rc.d apache2 stop`. – thb Jun 03 '12 at 17:10

Try /etc/init.d/httpd stop if the above comment didn't work. It depends on the distro of course.

Also to stop apache starting again after a reboot you will want to run:

update-rc.d -f apache2 remove
