That's what installing via the RPMs usually does.
That notwithstanding, copy the attached file to your /etc/rc.d/init.d
file...it's a standard RedHat httpd script from that very directory on
one of my boxes.
Then, logged in as root, issue the following command:
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S85httpd
You can also do the same for other run levels, substituting "rc3.d",
"rc4.d" or even "rc2.d" in place of the "rc5.d" in the above command.
