It means that the apache server is expecting the network interface(s) to be already up and running (with a correct local or IP address) when the httpd service starts. Apparently, that isn't the case with your latest PCLinuxOS version, or else it may come from a race condition caused by the parallelised boot process of init.d scripts. In other words, you will have to find a way to ensure that either the httpd daemon is started after your network interface(s) is/are brought up, or else make sure that your network interface(s) are running very early on in the boot process. This is a problem with PCLinuxOS and has absolutely nothing to do with LibreOffice, or Java, or MySQL. Potentially, your network interface(s) are not being brought up in time during boot because the networking script is set to obtain a DHCP address and this action is not completed when the httpd daemon is started (for whatever reason, that might be, e.g. DNS or hostname resolution problems, dhcpclient bugs, timeouts with the DHCP server, wrong or conflicting static IP address attribution, etc - on other words, a whole host of potential problems totally unrelated to LO, mysql or java). I have a similar problem on one of my Linux Mint machines (fortunately not running an apache server, but a PITA nonetheless), which is linked to the network card not being initialised (internal memory buffers being systematically cleared or some such other trickery), on boot. I am often forced to reinitialise the network interfaces by hand in order to obtain an address from my dhcp server (my ADSL router), as it turns out. Before even attempting to fiddle with any of that, go and ask on the PCLinuxOS forums whether this is a known problem.
