apache fail to restart

I am trying to figure out a php-mysql connection problem on ubuntu when I encounter a problem with restarting apache. I got the following error when running:

apache2ctl configtest

apache2: Syntax error on line 236 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 3 of /etc/apache2/conf.d/index.html: Expected <\/p>This> but saw <\/p> 
Action 'configtest' failed.

The line 236 shows:

Include conf.d/

The line 3 of index.html is:
<\/p>

NOTE: editor please help with the above html tags. When testing on the browser: 127.0.0.1, the index page shows just fine. I've searched a lot but nothing seems to work.

Any suggestions please ?

The index.html file doesn't belong in /etc/apache2/conf.d/. Please move it to an appropriate place (perhaps your DocumentRoot).
