After upgrading to apache 1.3.29_4 you have to add a line to rc.conf
pkg_message in the ports tree says:

===>  BE CAREFULL HOW TO BOOT on 1.3.29_4 or after:
	To run apache www server from startup, add apache_enable="YES"
	in your /etc/rc.conf.

THIS IS A CLEAR MESSAGE

In a similar way changes were made for apache-2.0.49_2 
BUT WHAT DOES THIS PKG-MESSAGE MEAN???

"Since 2.0.49_2, apache startup script is now enabled/disabled via 
rc.subr.
Available variables:
- apache2_enable (bool):      Set to "NO" by default.
                              Set it to "YES" to enable apache2
- apache2ssl_enable (bool):   Set to "NO" by default.
                              Set it to "YES" to start apache with SSL 
                              (if <IfDefined SSL> exists in httpd.conf)
- apache2limits_enable (bool):Set to "NO" by default.
                              Set it to yes to run `limits $limits_args`
                              just before apache starts.
- apache2_flags (str):        Set to "" by default.
                              Extra flags passed to start command
- apache2limits_args (str):   Default to "-e -U %%WWWOWN%%"
                              Arguments of pre-start limits run."

Should also some lines be addes to rc.conf ?????? Which one???

Clear messages would be very helpfull!!
