This means you're trying to load the php module twice. Simply comment
out the line in your /etc/apache2/conf.d/php.conf that start LoadModule

This is telling you that you haven't specified a password for connecting
to the database.

The // at the line beginning is commenting out the password parameter.
You need to uncomment this to solve the error message you're getting.
If you haven't set a password for this database user then I suggest just
deleting the // and seeing what happens. Otherwise you could try
setting a password for the jayell user (see your Postgre documentation
for that) and then insert that password into the settings.php file.

Indeed, it seems apache2 is working; just need to get the database
connection sorted and you'll reveal the next problem!
