Description Dan Wallis 2008-03-09 16:37:20 UTC

When apache2 is not running, and one uses the "fullstatus" feature of the init script, a confusing error is returned.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. # /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
2. # /etc/init.d/apache2 fullstatus

Actual Results:  
Error returned from Lynx saying it cannot connect to remote host.

Expected Results:  
Error returned from init script saying apache2 is not started
