Also, make sure the permissions are right (does the script run from the commandline?) :

tattonaga,

From the outside that looks right.
The filename is not important as long as it ends in .start.

Does /etc/local.d/local.start work or is there atn error message?

The files here are not scripts, just lists of commands as you would enter at the keyboard.
There is no #!/bin/bash on the first line.

tattonaga,

Remove the #!/bin/sh line. This file is not a script.
Is the apachet1 part correct?

Shouldn't it be "apachectl " ?

( so with a "c")

What happens when you run *exactly* that command in the script from a shell ?
