Apache not starting at boot

[Takashi Yoshida]

Hi,

I think I encountered this problem long ago.

If I remember it correctly, I think I tried setting the ServerName in  
the httpd.conf file.

Open the httpd.conf (should be at /opt/local/apache2/conf) and set the  
ServerName.
Once I did that, Apache 2 started fine on start up.

You can also try running: /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl  configtest  
and see if there are any issues with your httpd.conf as well.

Regards,
