First of all, you should do something like "/etc/init.d/apache2 restart --debug > /root/apache2.debug 2>&1" to catch both, standard and error output. Still, this won't work in your case. The output you usually see on screen, is *not* generated by the script (or the executing shell) but by the commands used in the script. So keep a backup of the original script, then dive into it with your favourite editor and append ">> /root/apache2.debug 2>&1" to all relevant commands.
