Apache on Boot

If this step is failing without any obvious errors, the problem may be
server name resolution. I had this problem with apache2 from macports
(last week) until I realized Apache was exiting without an error
because it couldn't resolve my local box's DNS name (as I just use
mDNS for most things).

I noticed this error in the error logs and corrected it by adding a
host to my loopback address via NetInfoManager and setting the
httpd.conf to point to that servername.

Good luck,
