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

But isn't this the purpose of the sys-v style initscripts to configure
what to start and at which runlevel, without having to edit
configuration files (with double negatives, yuck)... So, that
debian-cumbersome-packaging-of-apache hate is justified.
