To disable apache on a redhat-based disto, you must use : "chkconfig httpd off". You must *NOT* use "chkconfig --remove httpd". The "remove" option removes the service from chkconfig's control. That will do what you want until httpd is upgraded, when the rpm will run chkconfig --add httpd and thus re-enable it.
So chkconfig's use is : chkconfig httpd on : enables the service chkconfig httpd off : disables the service
the --add and --remove options should only be used in the rpm scriptlets, never manually.
