[gentoo-user] apache wont start when there is no network available

[Matthew R. Lee]

Yesterday I installed Apache2 Mysql 5 and php 5 along with tikiwiki 1.9.8 on 
my laptop (localhost).  The idea is to play with and learn how to use 
tikiwiki before I install it on my webhost and revamp my website.
Everything was working fine and is working fine here in the office where I 
have online access.  But when I got home last night with the intention of 
playing with tikiwiki I couldn't because apache wouldn't start.  I wouldn't 
start because net.eth1 couldn't connect to anything.  net.eth1 is my wireless 
connection, net.eth0 is my wired connection.  Neither will start at home 
because I don't have internet at home.
Question, why does apache2 need net.eth1 to be running? How can I get apache2 
going without a network connection? Surely everything it needs is on the 
laptop (localhost)
I've looked at the httpd.conf but I can't see anything relevant 
I'm clearly new to this apache stuff, any help would be appreciated
Matt

Set RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="lo" in /etc/conf.d/rc

This fortune soaks up 47 times its own weight in excess memory.

That did the trick, thanks.  Sorry I didn't respond sooner but I was in a 
workshop all day yesterday
