Fine, apache2 is set to not start on boot by default as you've discovered.

You're using the init (boot start up) system to try and start it as though it were being booted via init.d and it's rightly telling you "You've told me not to start on boot so I won't"

What you want to do is start apache outside the boot system using the normal apache2ctl script

Sorry to jump on your hate but ...
