Is apache configured to start in the default runlevel? (Rest is for completeness and newbies reading the list) Check /etc/inittab for the line with "initdefault" in it to identify your default runlevel - it is usually 2. Assuming your default runlevel is 2, there ought to be a symlink to /etc/init.d/apache2 (or whatever) in /etc/rc2.d/ See the man page for update-rc.d on how to add apache to the default runlevel. You need to be root to run update-rc.d Sigh. I suddenly realise that for past several years, debian has not been giving me any reason to become root - except to update. HTH. -- Mahesh T.
