Apache and xinetd

I'm having trouble getting httpd to run on startup.

I created the file /etc/xinetd.d/httpd
containing...

service httpd
{
port = 80
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
passenv = PATH
server = /usr/sbin/apachectl
server_args = start
disabled = no
}

Is there something else I need to do?

I can start the service manually, but I would like it to start on reboot.

Any help appreciated,
Chris

After some research I found that I should not use xinetd for apache,
and that it should be a daemon process.

Therefore, I renamed /etc/rc5.d/K15httpd to /etc/rc5.d/S15httpd,
rebooted, and httpd is running now.
