The main problem is missed /etc/apt/sources.list.
You can recreate it with:
cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful-backports main universe restricted multiverse
EOF
Then run
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install apache2

Try sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get install apache2.
I recommend installing the complete LAMP Stack using tasksel
sudo apt-get install tasksel
sudo tasksel to launch it
Select LAMP server and install it.
Hope that helps.
