Using FreeBSD 4.10 release and confused about what to do with the startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh when installing the port.  The package on another machine works fine b/c it just has options to start and stop in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh.

The port however has a totally different file asking to:

  # Define these apache_* variables in one of these files:
  # /etc/rc.conf
  # /etc/rc.conf.local
  # /etc/rc.conf.d/apache
  #
  # DO NOT CHANGE THESE DEFAULT VALUES HERE

  apache_enable=${apache_enable-"NO"}
  apache_flags=$(apache_flags-""}
  apache_pidfile=${apache_pidfile-"/var/run/httpd.pid"}

I do not have rc.conf.  What's the preferred way of starting apache on boot.  Why not just do it the same way as the package?
