You can see which processes are running with the ps command "ps -ef".

The services you are looking for are probably not set to run in runlevel 3. How you change this depends on your distribution.

Boot like you are going to boot into a desktop. Don't log in. This is runlevel 5. Hit "ctrl-alt-F1" for a login. The processes should be running. If not, goto /etc/init.d and find the shell scripts to start them, and run "sh scriptname option". There is usually a start option for everything in init.d. If that doesn't work, try the script option restart. To check if these start, or to see if they are running: "ps aux | less". Hit the space bar to scroll through the list. Hit pgup to scroll backwards through less.

Linux is just like a woman. If you don't properly read her needs, she gets stubborn. If you can just get your hand inside /etc/init.d, she will be obedient to you. It just takes a little experience. Experience is something you just can't buy. You earn it.

but how do i either make them run at runlevel3 or make it not boot into a GUI at the start, just go into shellmode?

lol now we are back to where we started last night.

when i change inittab to start at runlevel 3 im guessing, none of services like ftp/http/sql work, so is it possible to run those services at level 3 or will they only work at level 5?

Just use chkconfig:
chkconfig httpd on
chkconfig vsftpd on

You can use the levels option to specify certain runleves where they should be started/stopped but these should be set to run in runlevel 3 in the init scripts anyway.
