Was that associated with some previous thread?

Or it could be removed.  Why have it installed if it isn't going to be
running?

  apt-get remove apache2

Personally I "purge" instead of remove but I know I have etckeeper
keeping /etc backed up along with a real off system backup too.  So I
can purge things without thinking knowing if I didn't want that I
could recover the /etc conffiles from backup.

If one mentions rcconf then one might as well mention chkconfig too.
Basically the same thing but perhaps more familiar to people coming
from other software distributions.

This thread has little context.  :-(

Couldn't you just turn apache2 off in rcconf?
Or did I miss something in this thread?

Or one could just use 'disable'.

[Xavi]

First I do:

sudo update-rc.d -f apache2 remove

and then, to assert the rc.d links are not recreated, 
I recreate them stopped in all runlevels:

sudo update-rc.d apache2 stop 80 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 .

As far as I know, the proper way to disable a service is to change the 
Sxy link in Kxy for the respective runlevel (this can also be done with 
any of the available runlevel editors, like sysv-rc-conf).

Removing all Sxy symlinks will result in them being recreated on the 
next upgrade (as you have experienced).

You can also make changes to the init.d script, but I'm not sure which 
ones will be detected by dpkg. Textual changes will, but don't know 
about removing the execute bit or the like.

Regards,
Andrei

This is equivalent to "update-rc.d apache2 remove" and will not
persist.  The workaround is to keep at least one stop link, then
update-rc.d will not recreate the symlinks on package upgrades.

In squeeze it is possible to run "update-rc.d disable" and "update-rc.d
enable" to disable or enable a service.

You could also update /etc/init.d/apache2, change
the run levels to Defaut-stop

I just remove the apache link in /etc/rc*.d

Disable server so it does not start on reboot (even after upgrade)?

[Allan Wind]

I use insserv to boot my laptop and used `update-rc.d apache2 
remove` to indicate that I do not want apache2 to start on 
reboot.  Indeed this works fine for while.  Either an apache2 
(apache2.2-common upgrade) or some other package install/upgrade 
then seems to revert my choice and apache is once again started 
in reboot.

Is there a better way to disable servers from starting?
