Bug Description
Binary package hint: apache2
When you configure apache to use a password-protected SSL key, you are prompted to provide that password when apache starts. The PID file has not been written at this point, so the init script won't work properly until the password is provided or apache is killed manually. In ubuntu 10.04, when apache is started by upstart, it cannot read input from the the console. You must login, kill it manually, then start apache. I was able to workaround the problem using by adding "stty sane" to /etc/init.
sed -e '/^ENV=/i stty sane' /etc/init.

==== Natty Release Notes ====
If you have setup Apache with an encrypted SSL key, the system will now prompt for the pass-phrase on the console during boot. This is different from the behavior of previous versions which would simply fail to start apache.

This seems to have a trivial fix, nominating as a papercut for investigation and fix if it is appropriate.
