try doing:
# chmod +x /etc/init.d/apache

(you may need sudo to do that command, or become root [i set my box up so i can log in as root])

Thanks,
I get this error:
chmod: failed to get attributes of `/etc/init.d/apache': No such file or directory

there is no apache in the init.d directory...
do i need to copy something there?

Is there an httpd? :)

yes, there is, in /www/bin
I can start apache with apachectl, but want to start it automatically.

Hi,

Try this instead:

# sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/apache2
