When I did that, it automagically put the startup script into rc.d. Did you
check to see if it was already there? Anyway, here's the script it put in
there:

=3D=3D=3D cut here =3D=3D=3D

#!/bin/sh

if ! PREFIX=3D$(expr $0 : "\(/.*\)/etc/rc\.d/$(basename $0)\$"); then
    echo "$0: Cannot determine the PREFIX" >&2
    exit 1
fi

case "$1" in
start)
        [ -x ${PREFIX}/sbin/apachectl ] && ${PREFIX}/sbin/apachectl start >=
 /dev/null && echo -n ' apache'
        ;;
stop)
        [ -r /var/run/httpd.pid ] && ${PREFIX}/sbin/apachectl stop >=
 /dev/null && echo -n ' apache'
        ;;
*)
        echo "Usage: `basename $0` {start|stop}" >&2
        ;;
esac

exit 0
