It does not have a service command. Just running
/etc/init.d/apache2 start
should do it; have a look in the apache error log and see if something
is preventing it starting. If all else fails do
sh -x /etc/init.d/apache2 start
to get some debugging information
I sometimes find it useful to define a service command like this:
$ sudo -s
# echo '/etc/init.d/$*' > /usr/local/bin/service
# chmod +x /usr/local/bin/service
