I ran an emerge apache and it appeared to install fine with no problems. When I go to run it this is all I get.
Code:

server / # /usr/sbin/apache2ctl start
 * Starting apache2 ...                                                   [ !! ]
server / #

when I check the status I get
Code:

server / # /usr/sbin/apache2ctl status
 * status:  stopped
server / #

-PC

Why aren't you using the start/stop script /etc/init.d/apache2?
And have you checked apache's log files for errors?

only because Apache suggests using the former. I don't have a preference one way or another. I get the same error either way.

Nevermind. Followed a suggestion on http://gentoo-wiki.com/Apache2_Install after checking the error log and all is gravy. Thanks for the help
