The only Listen directives are in /etc/apache2/ports.conf. Its content is: Listen 127.0.0.1:80 NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.2:80 Listen 127.0.0.2:80 Listen 127.0.0.7:80 > Also, please insert > > ifconfig > > near the beginning of the apache start script and provide the output > during boot. ifconfig outputs the following lines right before apache2 should start: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:d3:b3:20:08 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:17 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:3017 (2.9 KiB) Interrupt:16 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:44 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:44 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:16573 (16.1 KiB) TX bytes:16573 (16.1 KiB) vbox0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:ff:15:cf:47:17 inet6 addr: fe80::2ff:15ff:fecf:4717/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:19 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:500 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1b:77:04:d2:af UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) wmaster0_rename Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-1B-77-04-D2-AF-6C-6F-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) The /etc/network/interfaces contains nearly nothing (network is managed by NetworkManager using Gnome's nm-applet): ------- [ /etc/network/interfaces ] ----------------------- # Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8).

Bootlogd doesn't work here.
