I had the same problem...just a matter of deleting the apache.rmpsave files
(two I think) in your rc script area.  BUT, before you do this, ensure that
there are no extensive differences between the old and the new, which would be
the case if you are running a web server.  For general use, it shouldn't
matter--only you the user of the system would know.
