You need to distinguish between enabling a service to be started every
boot, or doing this manually after the box has booted.

To make a service start each time the box is booted, go into the yast
runlevel editor. Activating a service for a runlevel does not start it
right there and then though. Incidentally, somewhere around the runlevel
editor you can also instantly start and stop a service, which is easy
but overkill.

Keep in mind that on SuSE, services are in the root path with "rc"
prepended, so all you need to type is

  rcapache2 start

and because it's in the path, you get away with

  rcap<tab> start

This by itself doesn't of course cause apache to be startet each boot.

(on earlier versions, the service was halled httpd instead of apache2)
