You might like to make a copy of your original boot script 
that is used to start apache. Then you can edit that, as 
already mentioned, and then uninstall the default apache 
that comes with your distro.

(It is also a good idea save/backup any altered system 
scripts like this in a safe place, so you can reinstall 
them if you do an OS reinstall or upgrade later.)

If you are not using the default apache, and it is still 
installed, you will find it is updated when you do a 
security update, which is a waste of time.

The same applies to other services that you install 
along side default installations, such as php or mysql.

An alternative way to start apache would be to add something 
like this to your boot.local script, but you will not get 
the nice information messages to say apache, mysql or 
whatever has started up at boot time.

Don't forget to add entries to your halt.local script to 
shut down the services that you start from boot.local.

contents of my boot.local script:

#
# Author: Werner Fink <werner@xxxxxxx>, 1996
#         Burchard Steinbild <feedback@xxxxxxx>, 1996
#
# /etc/init.d/boot.local
#
# script with local commands to be executed from init on system startup
#
# Here you should add things, that should happen directly after booting
# before we're going to the first run level.

# start the MySQL 5.0.18 server
/usr/local/mysql-5.0.18/bin/start-mysql-5.0.18

# start apache 2.2.0 web server
/usr/local/apache-2.2.0/bin/apachectl start


contents of halt.local:

#! /bin/sh
#
# Copyright (c) 2002 SuSE Linux AG Nuernberg, Germany.  All rights reserved.
#
# Author: Werner Fink <werner@xxxxxxx>, 1998
#         Burchard Steinbild, 1998
#
# /etc/init.d/halt.local
#
# script with local commands to be executed from init on system shutdown
#
# Here you should add things, that should happen directly before shuting
# down.

# stop the apache 2.2.0 web server
/usr/local/apache-2.2.0/bin/apachectl stop

# stop the MySQL 5.0.18 database server
/usr/local/mysql-5.0.18/bin/stop-mysql-5.0.18

You also could post your original apache boot script to the 
list, for us to tell you where it needs editing, if you 
prefer to use that method.

In theory, theory and practice are the same;
In practice they are not.
