Hello list,

I am trying to configure a small Daedalus/apache server, which has been
in storage for a year. After a round or two of updates, it's working
fine, but I cannot stop, start or restart the service. I am able to
wget the index page from a second host on the network, irrespective of
whether apache2 is up [+] or down [-].

# service --status-all | grep apache2
[ ? ] alsa-utils
[ - ] apache2
[ ? ] binfmt-support
[ ? ] hwclock.sh
[ ? ] kmod
[ ? ] mount-configfs
[ ? ] netfilter-persistent
[ ? ] networking
[ ? ] speech-dispatcher

# service apache2 start
# service --status-all | grep apache2
[ ? ] alsa-utils
[ - ] apache2
[ ? ] binfmt-support

[ ? ] mount-configfs
[ ? ] netfilter-persistent
[ ? ] networking
[ ? ] speech-dispatcher

# service apache2 stop

Can anyone shed any light on this? All references on the forums refer
