Keith, Please do the following and send us the output: dpkh -l | grep apache You should see something like this (my own VPS running Lenny): ---start--- ii apache2 2.2.9-10+lenny4 Apache HTTP Server metapackage ii apache2-mpm-prefork 2.2.9-10+lenny4 Apache HTTP Server - traditional non-threade ii apache2-utils 2.2.9-10+lenny4 utility programs for webservers ii apache2.2-common 2.2.9-10+lenny4 Apache HTTP Server common files ii libapache2-mod-php5 5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny3 server-side, HTML-embedded scripting languag ---stop--- Now, if startup is looking for the /etc/init.d/apache2 script that seems to have gone AWOL, you will find that by re-installing the "apache2.2-common" package.
