Created attachment 163259 [details] /etc/init.d/apache2 --debug start output If I had to guess, I'd say it's an openrc problem, but I'm not too sure.
The problem is that the apache init.d script uses (bashism) "let i++" instead of a more portable "i=$(($i+1))", that's why it shows so much stderr at start (FreeBSD's /bin/sh does not understands the i++). However that might not be the real cause of apache's startup delay, do you have any extra modules or some configuration that might require a freebsd kernel module (kevent/accf_http for example)?
Created attachment 163270 [details, diff] apache2_initscript.diff This diff is sh-compliant. I'm not getting the let i++ complaints anymore with the changes here, but I still get... [Tue Aug 19 02:56:15 2008] [warn] (2)No such file or directory: Failed to enable the 'httpready' Accept Filter [Tue Aug 19 02:56:15 2008] [warn] (2)No such file or directory: Failed to enable the 'httpready' Accept Filter I don't know if that's related to missing kernel modules or not...
That's the issue indeed, try to load the accf_http[1] kernel module or add it to /boot/loader.conf: # kldload accf_http or # echo 'accf_http_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf (and reboot) Apache uses these accept filters [2] to have the kernel handle http requests before apache to increase performance, by default apache is compiled with the filters enabled.

(In reply to comment #4) Yep, that did it. Thanks!
