Can't tell you the exact details but I this may help.

The programs to be start need a script in /etc/init.d
Needs to take parameters start,stop,reset etc.
Take a look at some of the ones in there.

You then need to tell the system to run that script.

You need to put links in
/etc/rc?.d
where ? is the run level

and sym link as:
S??progname
to start the program at that run level
K??progname
to kill the program at that run level

again look at what's in those folders for guidance

Of course I may be wrong, I don't run Apache (not any more anyway).
