Apache init.d script

Question

I have the following script to start, stop, restart apache2 in my debian 7

#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          apache2
# Required-Start:    $all
# Required-Stop:     $all
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: apache2
# Description: Start apache2
### END INIT INFO

case "$1" in
start)
        echo "Starting Apache ..."
        # Change the location to your specific location
        /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start
;;
stop)
        echo "Stopping Apache ..."
        # Change the location to your specific location
        /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl stop
;;
graceful)
        echo "Restarting Apache gracefully..."
        # Change the location to your specific location
        /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl graceful
;;
restart)
        echo "Restarting Apache ..."
        # Change the location to your specific location
        /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl restart
;;
*)
        echo "Usage: '$0' {start|stop|restart|graceful}"
        exit 64
;;
esac
exit 0

When I add the script to update-rc.d I see the following warnings:

root@pomelo:/etc/init.d# update-rc.d apache2 defaults
update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing
insserv: Script jexec is broken: incomplete LSB comment.
insserv: missing `Required-Stop:'  entry: please add even if empty.
insserv: missing `Default-Stop:'   entry: please add even if empty.
insserv: Default-Stop  undefined, assuming empty stop  runlevel(s) for script `jexec'

But I already added Required-Stop and Default-Stop to the script.

Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

The issue is not in your apache2 init script, it is in 'jexec' it says so 'Script jexec is broken'.

That one is missing the Required-Stop and Default-Stop

Had the same issue on my SLES boxen. Don't worry though, even if it shows you these errors, everything still just runs fine!
