Hi seamore,
There are quite a few things that affect a start up script, I see that you are using absoluthe paths so probably no $PATH dependeicies there.
But you may try some of the following:
1. Check that the networks is alredy up (link and address) before the apache script is invoked, I'm not sure if Slack 14 still looks for the S scripots on /etc/init.d/rc[X] dirs
2. If you are using NameD this must be up as well since apache may be trying to resolve a domain name
3. look at apache error logs, usally in /var/log/httpd or if you compiled from source in the target dir or the dir you specified on the configuration, here you will find the message that apache throws when (and if) it tries to start
HTH
