"ls -l /etc/init.d/apache2"

"ls -l /etc/rc2.d/*apache2"

"service apache2 status"

"apachectl status"

Although "update-rc.d apache2 defaults" is returning "System
start/stop links for /etc/init.d/apache2 already exist" you could try
"update-rc.d apache2 enable", which does essentially the same thing.

Anyway, apache should be enabled to start at boot by default and the
above shouldn't be necessary.
