Sal,

There are debug flags you can pass to daemondo to get more  
information. But I'd work backward. Working forward, here's how  
things work:

	- launchd launched daemondo
	- daemondo invokes the wrapper scripts
	- the wrapper scripts, in this case, call either apachectl or httpd  
direction (I forget which).

So I'd check in reverse order:

	(1) Can you launch httpd and/or apachectl directly/successfully?
	(2) Can you launch it through the wrapper scripts directly/ 
successfully?
	(3) Can you invoke daemondo directly to have it launchd the wrappers?

Depending on where that breaks down, you'll know more about where to  
look. Did you "launchctl load -w /Libraries/LaunchDaemons/ 
org.macports.apache2.plist" as root?
