>From what Devon has stated, it's not clear which type of problem he's
having, but I can speak from personal experience when I say it's entirely
possible that OS X is not starting apache for another reason.  I inherited
a server with similar symptoms (running 10.3) and tracked it down to
having two StartupItems both claiming to provide "Web Server":
"/Sys/Lib/SI/Apache/" and "/Lib/SI/Apache2/".  OS X chose to run the
Apache2 StartupItem (Apache 2 was not correctly configured) rather than
the Apache StartupItem.  Once I removed Apache2, it worked just fine.  I
don't know it something similar could happen with launchd.

I would certainly check this first.

If you don't care to spend the time diagnosing your issue, why are you
telling us about it?
