Google compute engine apache2 connection refused

Question

I am trying to configure an Apache web server on the Google Cloud platform, in a compute engine instance. My problem is, that I can not reach my web server.

In the VPC network, if I open all the ports, then I get connection refused. If I only open the TCP 80 port, then I get connection timeout. I tried to delete the instance and start a new, the result is the same. With the default http rules I also get connection refused.

Firewall setting on the Google Cloud platform:
