If you run openrc, rc-update gives you a list of services by runlevel.
rc-update show --all gives you info about there status. (rc-update is
the same as eselect rc)

What you tell suggests it's not the ip configuration. So back to why
apache is not listening on port 80 on your ip address, but is on
127.0.0.1:80? I'm out of clues.
