I want to start Apache2 on my Debian Sarge box to test something quick.
I want to start it just this once for testing, then shut it down again.
I do not want it to start on boot
Fine, apache2 is set to not start on boot by default as you've discovered.
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
Not starting apache2 - edit /etc/default/apache2 and change NO_START to
be 0.
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 ...
