[Bug 904243] [NEW] apache does not start on server startup

[Martin Vysny]

Public bug reported:

Apache does not start upon system boot. I am unable to find any Apache
errors during boot - all /var/log/apache2/error.log* files are either
empty or contain old entries only. When I invoke sudo
/etc/init.d/apache2 start from the command line, apache starts
successfully and works correctly.

$ ls -la /etc/init.d/apache2 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7621 2011-11-07 23:47 /etc/init.d/apache2

$ ls -la /etc/rc5.d|grep apache
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    17 2011-12-08 17:30 S91apache2 -> ../init.d/apache2

$ ls -la /etc/rc2.d|grep apache
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    17 2011-12-08 17:30 S91apache2 -> ../init.d/apache2

$ ls -la /etc/rc3.d|grep apache
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    17 2011-12-08 17:30 S91apache2 -> ../init.d/apache2
