Do you have a question?

I think the question is how to autostart apachectl.

The following should work:

1. copy apachectl from apache's /bin directory to /etc/init.d
2. sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/apachectl
3. sudo update-rc.d apachectl defaults

If you want apache to run as a non root user then you should change the port is listens on to a number greater than 1024 and remove the user and group configuration options from httpd.conf.
