Fedora Users — Apache startup problem

Hello,

I am having a problem starting apache upon boot on FC4. I have ascript in /etc/init.d for httpd to start and have linked this with afile in /etc/rc3.d. After boot, when I run ps aux, I see that httpdis running:

root 2557 2.3 0.6 17048 6896 ? Ss 14:12 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -DSSL -k startapache 2587 0.0 0.6 17048 6912 ? S 14:12 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -DSSL -k startapache 2588 0.0 0.6 17048 6912 ? S 14:12 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -DSSL -k startapache 2589 0.0 0.6 17048 6912 ? S 14:12 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -DSSL -k startapache 2590 0.0 0.6 17048 6912 ? S 14:12 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -DSSL -k startapache 2591 0.0 0.6 17048 6912 ? S 14:12 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -DSSL -k startapache 2592 0.0 0.6 17048 6912 ? S 14:12 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -DSSL -k startapache 2593 0.0 0.6 17048 6912 ? S 14:12 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -DSSL -k startapache 2594 0.0 0.6 17048 6912 ? S 14:12 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -DSSL -k start

However when I try to access the website, I get a Bad Gateway: Theproxy server received an invalid response from an upstream servererror. If I go to the script in /etc/init.d to stop and then startthe httpd process again everything runs o.k. Why would this not bestarting properly when booting?
