is your init.d script chmod +x ?
just putting something in init.d isn't sufficient, it has to be linked in rc?.d as a S##name ... which chkconfig on (or systemctl) are supposed to do
Yes the script is executable... forgot to mention that.
From the comment in the README file, I thought that was all I needed to do.
I have not run any chkconfig or systemctl.
That's the problem, then. It should have comments, near the top, as to what what runlevel it should be started at, and *when* (i.e., after the network is up for apache...). Then running chkconfig <servicename> on will make it happen.
From a 6.5 server, from /etc/init.d/sshd:
# chkconfig: 2345 55 25
This will start and make sure sshd is running in runlevels 2, 3, 4, and 5, and it will start it as S55sshd on the way up, and shut id down with K25 on the reboot.
