Hello André It looks like you did not define required variables APACHE_LOCK_DIR, APACHE_PID_FILE and so on.
This is exactly what envvar file is for. You *need* to source it before runing apache. apache2 is a service. On Debian, you need to start services using service(8) on the command line: # service apache2 start This will call /etc/init.d/apache2 that does all the magic. Alternatively, you could find apache2ctl(8) useful.
