Macports & launchctl - plist disabled by default prevents apache2 form starting

[Michel LE LAY]

Hello,
I'm using macports 1.520

As a follow-up to thread 
MySQL5, OS X 10.4.10, startups, etc.
http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2007-September/005756.html

I had the same problem with the upgraded version of apache2 : the symlinks are correct

$ ls -l /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2.plist
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  76  8 oct 12:14 /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2.plist -> /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2/org.macports.apache2.plist
$ ls -l /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2/org.macports.apache2.plist
-rw-r--r--   2 root  wheel  992 10 oct 22:22 /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2/org.macports.apache2.plist

And launchctl load kept saying that there was "nothing to load" when I typed
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2.plist.

It seems that the default generated org.macports.apache2.plist has these keys at the end :

     <key>Disabled</key><true/>
     <key>OnDemand</key><false/>
     <key>RunAtLoad</key><false/>

So, when launchctl parses the file, it sees Disabled==true and doesn't load.

Removing Disabled and OnDemand and turning RunAtLoad to true solves the problem.
Please, could you inspect the code generating startup-items ?

Cheers,
