Do you have an init script for Apache in /etc/init.d (e.g. /etc/init.d/apache)? If not, create one (like this; you need to adjust the paths in it!):

#!/bin/sh
	  
case "$1" in
start)
  /usr/sbin/apachectl startssl
;;
stop)
  /usr/sbin/apachectl stop
;;
restart)
  $0 stop && sleep 3
  $0 start
;;
reload)
  $0 stop
  $0 start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload}"
exit 1
esac

Then make it executable:

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/apache

The command

chkconfig --levels 235 apache on

will make your Apache start at boot time (in the run levels 2, 3, and 5).
