If you installed Apache from the port, there should be a shell script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d called apache.sh. The presence of this file should cause apache to start at bootup. If it's not there, put it there, with the following contents: #!/bin/sh [ -x /usr/local/sbin/apachectl ] && /usr/local/sbin/apachectl start \ > /dev/null && echo -n ' apache' Make it executable, and you should be all set.
