Just to set my mind at ease; Apache files got severely messed up and I uninstalled Apache2. I didn't loose all my websites did I? Please tell me that the databases are safe somewhere in the mysql or drupal side of things?
Also, how easy is this going to be to restore?

always backup!
database is quite safe in mysql, so don't worry!
All you need is an expert to take a look at your apache2.conf file( I suppose thats the file you messed up) otherwise take atmost care in reinstalling the apache. No need and don't even try reinstalling mysql again.
Other wise on simple thing. Mysql server will be running
( I am no good at commands)
So fire up the terminal and backup the database through mysql
(For phpmyadmin you need apache, can't help there)
Thank you

You could have forgotten to
You could have forgotten to reinstall libapache2-mod-php5, php5, or any php-related packages. Try to follow a guide one installing Apache+PHP+MySQL and see if you have any packages missing.
Solved--Thanks all
Thanks again to those who helped me get back up and running. I finally decided to back up everything, remove and purge apache2 again. I then reinstalled Apache2, PHP5 and PHPMyadmin. I then rebooted the server and away I go.
My next venture is to get ssl working. Anyone have suggestions for a really good tutorial on this?
