Starting Apache2 and MySQL Automagically? rc.conf woes. . .

I've been running FreeBSD machines for about 5 years now, NetBSD much
less intensively for about the same time. For the life of me, I can't
get Apache or MySQL to start up from scripts. What am I doing wrong?

First, I tried putting "apache=YES" and "apache_start="start" " into
rc.conf. When that didn't work, I copied the apache.sh script from
/usr/pkgsrc/www/apache2 into /etc/rc.d and tried again. When that
didn't work, I uncommented the lines in rc.local concerning apache.
When that didn't work, I copied the apache.sh script to
/usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/ and tried again. Now that that doesn't work, I'm
turning to the good people of the newsgroup.

Was Gibt's?

Seems like in FreeBSD, you put the script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, add a
line to rc.conf like apache_enable="YES" and away you go. Not so here.
