I'm not familiar with the -n apache2 option, but I was just trying to figure out why I can't get apache to run as a service. I'm using the -k start option, a message that it's starting the service appears, but nothing happens. In the service.c file, I added a line to print the 'Failed to start the service' message as I was not seeing this message in any of my log files. It in fact fails to start the service.
