Hi Chris,
I've just got this working myself, with a few similar difficulties.
The main thing I had to fix was ssl support with my existing install of 
apache. My android uses a ssl connection by default (as it definitely 
should) but this means ssl has to be set on on the server.

As an initial test, on the android in the account server configuration 
screen, try setting security to off, rather than ssl or ssl (accept all 
connections).

If that works, find a guide for setting up apache2 https (like 
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-create-a-ssl-certificate-on-apache-for-ubuntu-12-04 
)
Then try: https://yourserver/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync
(note the https)
Hopefully the android config will work fine on ssl (accept all certificates)

Cheers,
Andrew
